We are big Bob Ross fans here atmental_floss . From hiswork , to hishair , to , well , just abouteverythingabout him ( seriously , everything ) , we ’re Ross fan through and through . But we may have found someone even more loyal to the cause . A cleaning woman named Nicole Bonneau is painting her way through Ross ’s PBS show , The Joy of Painting .
In an interview withThe Huffington Post , Bonneau suppose she got the idea for the project after a peculiarly blissful binge - picket of the show with some category around the holidays . While it began as a casual musing , the many appeals of the task soon convinced Bonneau to ship on the journey . Among them ? It ’s a recollective - term emphasis - reliever and creative outlet , and art is in her pilothouse ( she study picture at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design ) .
Of the 403 paintings from the show , Bonneau is only through 13 ( that ’s all of the first season)—a stride she predicts will get her to the end in about 10 years . While she says she was n’t a big fan of Ross before the projection , Bonneau did tell HuffPo that she call back go steady the mild - mannered painter on TV when she was around 12 days old , and he had inspired the leverage of an oil painting curing .
We can relate to Bonneau ’s love of Ross ’s incredibleway with password . She told HuffPo : “ My preferent matter is when out of nowhere he ’ll say something incredibly drear . It ’s so unexpected . For illustration , I experience like whenever he paints an older cabin , he always make up some story about what happened to the owner of it . Sometimes [ the cabin owner ] has a bad imbibing problem and that ’s why he does n’t take charge of his home . Sometimes he falls into the river and drowns . It ’s very interesting . ”
