Juniper Art Gallery Book Club
2nd Thursday, November 14, 4:00 – 5:00 pm

For the month of November, we are reading: Happy Clouds, Happy Trees: The Bob Ross Phenomenon
by Kristin G. Congdon, Doug Blandy and Danny Coeyman

Readers will know Bob Ross (1942-1995) as the gentle, afro’d painter of happy trees on PBS. And while he has been reviled or ignored by the elite art world and scholarly art educators, he continues to be embraced around the globe as a healer and painter, even decades after his death. In Happy Clouds, Happy Trees, the authors thoughtfully explore how the Bob Ross phenomenon grew into a juggernaut. They address issues of amateur art, sentimentality, imitation, boredom, seduction, and democratic practices in the art world. They examine Ross as a painter, teacher, healer, media star, performer, magician, and networker. Happy Clouds, Happy Trees presents Ross as a gift giver, someone who freely teaches the act of painting to anyone who believes that “this is your world.”
