It’s hard to picture Bob Ross as anything but the zen painter with his soothing voice and giant perm, but he actually was first a military man. Get this: Bob was a drill sergeant in the Air Force and was nicknamed “Bust-em-up-Bobby”.
Yes. The soft-spoken PBS painter was actually quite the hot head for two decades. During his time in the military, Bob was stationed in Alaska where he saw snow for the first time. This served as his lifelong muse with many of his paintings featuring snow-topped mountains.
After retiring from the military, Bob pursued his career in painting. Along with this newfound pursuit, Bob vowed to never yell again.
