He invoked a common sentiment of Ross, who died in 1995, during a brief lull. &#8220;Bob would remind you that this is your world, and you can do anything you want.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Another painting done on a 1993 episode, a lush green landscape called &#8220;Home in the Valley,&#8221; went for $229,100. A third, &#8220;Cliffside,&#8221; sold for $114,800.  <\/p>\n<p>The final prices include a charge for the auction house added to the final bid known as the buyer&#8217;s premium. The identities of the buyers weren&#8217;t immediately revealed.  <\/p>\n<p>Bids for all three paintings went well past pre-auction estimates of their value, which topped out around $50,000.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/08\/de8ac020-a4ac-4b72-89a0-bb67a2acce47\/thumbnail\/620x413\/4009b8d7d3089b7ec22b53bb25209528\/ap25279448519615.jpg#\" alt=\"Bob Ross Auction \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/08\/de8ac020-a4ac-4b72-89a0-bb67a2acce47\/thumbnail\/620x413\/4009b8d7d3089b7ec22b53bb25209528\/ap25279448519615.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/08\/de8ac020-a4ac-4b72-89a0-bb67a2acce47\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/6079e639846f27461ec8dcf761cde4b8\/ap25279448519615.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This undated image shows artist Bob Ross, host of the series &#8220;The Joy of Painting.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Bob Ross Inc. via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Three more Ross paintings will be up for auction at Bonhams in Marlborough, Massachusetts, on Jan. 27, with others to follow at Bonhams locations through next year.<\/p>\n<p>The 30 paintings comprise the largest release of Ross originals ever offered to the public, according to Bob Ross, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>All profits are pledged to stations that use content from distributor American Public Television.  <\/p>\n<p>Ross, a public television staple in the 1980s and &#8217;90s, was known for his dome of hair and warm demeanor.  <\/p>\n<p>The special sales seek to help stations in need of licensing fees that allow them to show popular programs that along with Ross&#8217;

Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., said in a statement.  <\/p>\n<p>As sought by the Trump Administration, Congress has eliminated $1.1 billion allocated to public broadcasting, leaving about 330 PBS and 246 NPR stations. <\/p>\n<p>Ross died at age 52 of complications from cancer after 11 years in production with the therapeutic how-to show, &#8220;The Joy of Painting.&#8221; The former Air Force drill sergeant was a sort of pioneer, known for his calm &#8211; and calming &#8211; manner and encouraging words.  <\/p>\n<p>Ross spoke often as he worked on air about painting happy little clouds and trees, and making no mistakes, only &#8220;happy accidents.&#8221;
