BOB ROSS (1942-1995) By-the-Sea signed 'Ross' (center left) and inscribed '2108 Book' (in four places on the turnover edges) Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique® on canvas 24 x 18 in (61.0 x 45.7 cm) Painted in 1990 Footnotes: The proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit American Public Television. Bob Ross completed the present work for Volume 21 of his Joy of Painting instructional book. By-the-Sea was the eighth project out of thirteen in the volume. Once the printer returned the painting to Bob Ross Company, it was placed in secure storage, where it has remained since. Bob took particular pride in the paintings that would be printed in his books; he knew that people would be studying the pages for years to come and would therefore spend as many as 3-5 hours on each 'book' work. Joy of Painting Volume 21 can be found here: https://www.bobross.com/joy-of-painting-book-series-21/ A Certificate of Authenticity from Bob Ross Inc. accompanies this lot.
