I can't tell you what a joy it was watching this man paint on canvas. His pleasant voice and amazing talents brought joy to millions. I can remember vividly back in 1984, that summer I would sit home and watch him do this amazing landscape. I always said.."Bob..what are you doing? thinking he made a mistake...but he would always come through with this amazing landscape. I seem to never make it through the whole show because his voice put me in a deep sleep. The man was not only a great painter but even a better human being, based on what I read. Truly a gift of god!
