Retired_and_Painting 20 Mar 2024

As another noted, can't find where to upload this in Bob's many seasons since this was a 1 hour special. Anyway, this is my first attempt at any Bob Ross painting (painting period). Acquired all my supplies and studied his paintings for quite some time. I've been actually watching him since he started on tv. Finally committed and this resulted. It came out ok, but I can see where improvements can be made such as the reflections, bushes, and trees. Forgot about the thin paint sticks to thick paint thing when it came to the bushes. I signed it but my signature is horrible and had to cover it up...oh well!

Update 4/17/24. Well...since this was my first painting, I decided I would use it for practice and add stuff here and there. Didn't like the big red bush on the left in my first attempt so added yellow and red brush here and there on both sides. Painting sat for a bit. Then didn't like the reflection on the right not showing the yellow, red, and pine tree so added reflections. Now I think I am done. Anyways gave me some good practice with elements of the painting. Will probably, eventually, make a do-over on this one. LOL...I love this...so much fun!!!

Very nice! Especially the mountains and the background trees. Congrats on taking the plunge! I did all the same mental prepping before my #1 LOL. You can always go back and sign it when it is more dry.

Well done. Love the misty areas between the trees in the center of the painting.

Absolutely great painting for first, so well done. Keep going and use painting to help enjoy your retirement. Ditto for me! Cheers

Super work friend! Your layering & perspective are amazingly done! You should be proud!

very nice, would not have guessed it was your first

Thank you so much! Just got lucky I guess. Bob makes it look rather easy to say the least.

And thank all of your for your kind and encouraging comments. What a relaxing and fun way to spend some time with the world.
