Who needs Orange is the New Black and House of Cards when Netflix is now streaming Bob Ross?
The beloved painter who gently encouraged people to embrace their inner artist on his PBS show The Joy of Painting is now on Netflix. The streaming service is offering episodes of Beauty is Everywhere, a series Ross filmed in 1991, just a few years before he died from lymphoma at the age of 52. Beauty is Everywhere features everything you loved from The Joy of Painting — his soothing voice, kindly pep talks, and happy little trees/clouds/streams — with the welcome addition of his pet squirrel Peapod. It doesn't get any better than that.
