Original Creation

Bob Ross celebration day

Ninoum 29 Oct 2023

I wish I could have shared today with all of you! I spend an amazing time at BR’s celebration. I saw some of Bob’s original paintings. That got me emotional somehow. They look incredible in person. I met Nic Hankins and had a quick chat with him, got to paint among 300+ artists and met our friend Jessie aka Shadowlink from TIB. Enjoy the pix!

I’m so jealous!! Where was this? How did you find the event?

I wish you could have been there Bob. It was in New Smyrna Beach, FL. The event was posted on Bob Ross’ social medias & Nic Hankins. I have subscribed to received emails from Bob’s website. So the celebration invitation was sent to me at the end of August.

Way cool! Thanks for sharing with us!

So jealous. Wish I could have gotten the time off from work.

Aw man how fun! Wish I could have been there. Happy birthday to the one and only Bob Ross!

Awesome Nancy! I love that a couple of TIB members could be there! I bet it was a fantastic experience for y’all!

How cool!!!! So awesome that you got to meet Nic! Is Jessie a certified instructor? I think I saw her and Nic teaching on the BobRoss Twitch channel at the Las Vegas convention!

Pleasure to share Cosmo! 😀

Maybe we can organize something next time around Tomi? I’d love to meet you and paint with you at a BR Celebration or class. 😊

It was a blast Bob! Wish you could have been there too. We sang “Happy Birthday” to Bob before starting the class with Nic.

Oh it was B!!! It was great to meet Jessie! Representing TIB was an honor. When I talked to Nic, I told him to go check out the TIB website. 😉

I didn’t know meeting Nic would happen since he “disappeared” once we were done painting. 15-20 minutes later, when most people were gone, he reappeared. I got my chance then!

Jessie is a CRI. She has been for 3 hrs. She was helping us out with the BR technique an all. It was a real delight meeting her today!

Awesome Nancy!
That sure was a great day!

I'd love to go one day, but flying across the big pond makes it so expensive. Perhaps one day...
And congrats on deciding to become an instructor. You'll do great, I'm sure.

I'm also interested in becoming an instructor, but I'm waiting for them to come over here. Emailed them about it in August. They replied it will happen again, they just don't know when yet.

Thanks for sharing Nancy and congrats with your certification, oh you still have to do it, should be no problem at all for you, I was wondering you were the only one in shorts , not important at all but I just was curious.

This is so wonderful and such a wonderful event! Thanks so much for sharing!

It was a great event Titia. Meeting Nic was awesome. He is such a great guy. The way he projects his energy on TV is how he is in person.

The event didn’t last that long… 8am till 12:30pm. So flying just for that wouldn’t have been worth it unless you would combine vacations in Florida with that.

You would be a wonderful instructor too. Bob’s legacy had picked up lots of steam the past few years. Hard to imagine they would go back across the pond like you say.

Thx Jos! To answer the question about my shorts…1) most people were older than me. 2) In FL, the AC freezes you inside. People get cold. I never wear a long sleeve, but it was chilly at the event. 😉

It was Sandy! I wish you could have experienced it too!!

Congrats Ninoum! All the best in your classes!

This is so awesome! That's so cool you got to meet Jessie there. I watch a lot of the BR twitch channel, and I happened to be watching when Jessie was instructing at TwitchCon and didn't know it was her. It's funny bc I saw her and thought, hey I wonder if that's Shadowlink...nah, coulnd't be right? But this confirms it! So fun.

Also, I know you'll make an amazing instructor with or without the CRI title. You are a natural born teacher! Congrats on the awesome day.

This is so freaking cool !!! Congrats Nancy.

Thank you Sunnylady!!! 😃

Aww! thank you Jeff! 😊 You were def spot on with Jessie! That's awesome you guessed!

It was way cool Tony! One of the best day of the year for me!

Really fantastic painting, so well done. Cheers
