Maybe nobody else will find this as delightful as I do, but [this guy paints his feelings into his canvas every bit as much as Bob Ross does](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWqr9DsEd9Q&feature=youtu.be&t=339&fbclid=IwAR1rCYFXvyzsK7PtZT3ohnaW78r0g0Q6mrYYAQPN-DyUuOco90Z2CJxyKT8). I freaking love it. (Watch at least 30 seconds to get the feel; it’s a little over half an hour long.)

I wonder if his neighbors ever complain that he is painting too loudly.

That demo was just screaming at me things like: yes, indeed, it did sound like walking into a dark room and bumping your knee somewhere.

Good that he was a very neatly dressed artist.

If Bob was still around, I couldn’t see him enjoying this.
