Happy Little Accidents: The Wit & Wisdom of Bob Ross

After watching 'The Joy of Painting' on TV and being an enthusiastic painter, I decided to purchase this little book. It is excellent as it gives a good biographic background about Bob's life and work - then it follows with copies of Bob's painting with a little saying on the opposite page. Whether you are interested in art or simply looking for a little 'wit and wisdom' to cheer up your day, then this is the book to buy. Love it so much I have ordered another copy for a friend. A beautiful book that I (and my friend) will treasure.

I have to make sure we have had our dinner at 6pm for me to be certain of sitting down to be enthralled by Bob Ross and his Painting series. I love his sense of humour and I realise he makes it look so easy, but he inspires me as I am sure many others - to bring my easel down from the loft and cannot wait to try out his unique style of landscapes which he appears to so willingly teach and "enjoy some fun" as he shares his skills with everyone who watches. I am sure he is still sadly missed, but he has left a legacy in sharing his artistic skills and wonderful ideas. Thank You Bob - Wild Flower Heather

Lovely little book with many images of Bob's paintings. A little of his story and of course one of his quotable sayings accompanying each picture.

My friend is a big Bob Ross fan. Come birthday time I try to buy him something relevant and this is it. He loves it, therefore I love it and recommend it to Ross fans. Good quality for the price.

Anybody familiar with Bob Ross will probably know quite a few of his phrases already, but this collection provides a decent insight into this talented man. The book includes images of a lot of his paintings and these are inter-spaced with the quotes. If you are looking for guidance on how to produce paintings like his, then this book is not what you are looking for - there are others beautifully illustrated books in The Joy Of Painting Series with guidance notes on the market. This book is however a lot cheaper and provides a pleasant browse.

Absolutely perfect little book for any fan of Bob Ross, ideal as a gift or for yourself. I bought one for myself and one as a present. Full of the great man’s artwork and quotes that he said on his show. Size is approximately 16cm x 18cm. (6.3 x 7 inches)

... a small yet brilliant gem of a book, befitting absolutely the joy that was Bob Ross. This slim joyous volume encapsulates his personality, and the product of his technique ... it ain’t great art, but it wonderful to watch him create it ... the book is indeed consolidates a happy memory!

Such a nice book, was a present for my Mum who enjoys watching Bob on TV. Lovely quotes mixed with some of his best ever paintings - as close as many of us will ever get to owning a Bob Ross painting we can touch !

This is a small book that packs lots of punch. Each pages showcases one of Bob Ross' gorgeous landscapes. My 13-year old fell in love with him calming voice and watching as his images came to life. The book is a sweet collection of his memorable sayings, craftily curated with his paintings. I recommend this for people looking for a little pick me up, or sometimes need that sweet little reminder that every happy accident has a silver lining.

Cute little book that made me smile. It was interesting to hear a bit about Bob Ross's personal life. Beautiful paintings shown.

Bought for my daughter. She loves it. Very positive and heartwarming, great to pick up and read a few ever day.

Ein sehr schönes Buch mit Zitaten, Bildern und etwas Hintergrundstory zu Bob Ross. Habe eines behalten und das andere verschenkt, kam extrem gut an - der Beschenkte mochte Bob Ross generell sehr gern. (Gibt es überhaupt Menschen die Bob Ross nicht mögen?) Also ein kleines Give Away kann man damit sehr vielen Leuten eine Freude bereiten, seine Zitate sind gut gewählt und am liebsten würde man direkt eine Folge von seiner Sendung schauen. Let's build us a happy, little cloud that floats around the sky. :-)

Einfach tolles Buch mit kleinen Weisheiten. Auf fast allen Bildern malte er einen Baum und dann noch einen Zweiten. Denn so wie er sagte: Everybody needs a friend :-)
