I also wanted to post a link to the Bob Ross website. In the store section you can buy 1 hour dvd's of him doing one of his kick-arse landscapes for about 17$ For those of you who have never heard of him (gasp!) Bob Ross is a white, afro-toting oil painter who does 60 and 30 minute shows on OPB where he takes a blank canvas and makes it look like a photograph of a landscape just by touching his paintbrush to it. This guy is crazy good. Even if the pieces tend to be cliche it's surprisingly calming to watch him make them. Bob Ross is a happy guy with a pillow-soft voice who often describes what he's painting by saying "let's pretend a happy little" (rock, bush, tree, cloud, cabin, mr. sun, etc.) "lives right here..." Sadly he passed away a few years ago, but OPB still airs reruns of his shows at 1 o clock on most weekdays
Here's an image from a T-shirt available from the site:
