Bob Ross Paintings Sells For $600,000 At Auction For Charity

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three paintings from famously chill public television legend Bob Ross sold Tuesday for more than $600,000 at auction. The paintings were the first of 30 Ross works being sold to benefit public TV stations hurt by cuts in federal funding.

At the live auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles, a serene, snow vista called “Winter’s Peace” that Ross painted entirely during a 1993 episode of “The Joy of Painting” went for $318,000 to a bidder on the phone.

“For a good cause — and you get the painting,” auctioneer Aaron Bastian said during the bidding. He invoked a common sentiment of Ross, who died in 1995, during a brief lull. “Bob would remind you that this is your world, and you can do anything you want.”

Another painting done on a 1993 episode, a lush, green landscape called “Home in the Valley,” went for $229,100. A third, “Cliffside,” sold for $114,800.

The final prices include a charge for the auction house added to the final bid known as the buyer’s premium. The identities of the buyers weren’t immediately revealed.

Bids for all three paintings went well past pre-auction estimates of their value, which topped out around $50,000.

Three more Ross paintings will be up for auction at Bonhams in Marlborough, Massachusetts, on Jan. 27, with others to follow, including one in New York.

All profits are pledged to stations that use content from distributor American Public Television.

Ross, a public television staple in the 1980s and ‘90s, was known for his dome of hair and warm demeanor.

The special sales seek to help stations in need of licensing fees that allow them to show popular programs that along with Ross’ show include “America’s Test Kitchen,” “Julia Child’s French Chef Classics,” and “This Old House.” Small and rural stations are particularly challenged.

The stations “have been the gateway for generations of viewers to discover not just Bob’s gentle teaching, but the transformative power of the arts,” Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., said in a statement.

As sought by the Trump Administration, Congress has eliminated $1.1 billion allocated to public broadcasting, leaving about 330 PBS and 246 NPR stations.

Ross died at age 52 of complications from cancer after 11 years in production with the therapeutic how-to show, “The Joy of Painting.” The former Air Force drill sergeant was a sort of pioneer, known for his calm — and calming — manner and encouraging words.

Ross spoke often as he worked on air about painting happy little clouds and trees, and making no mistakes, only “happy accidents.”

He has only became more popular in the decades since his death, and his shows saw a surge in popularity during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last Penny Ever Minted In The USA

#2025 Last Lincoln Penny Minted jzebraa

 The United States ended production of the penny on Wednesday, more than two centuries since the one-cent coin first went into circulation.  The move is part of an effort to retire the country’s smallest denomination, which had cost nearly four times its value to produce.  The country’s final pennies were pressed at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, where they’ve been produced since 1793, a year after Congress authorized the Coinage Act.

The last two pennies were stamped with a special marking and will not go into circulation. According to the Associated Press, the government plans to auction them off in the future.  In a statement, the Treasury Department said that “ongoing increases in production costs and the evolution in consumer habits and technology have made its production financially untenable."  The last coin before the penny to be discontinued was the half-cent in 1857. And there could be more change to come.

"My 2 Cents"
50 years ago in 1975, I was in 1st grade and I cried when I found out that I was not going to get to be "George Washington" in our school play of Presidents. But the teacher pulled me aside and said I think I have a special one for you to play Lonnie because your name starts with "L" you can be "Lincoln" he is almost as important as George, if not more! When I was older I was so glad that she had pick me to be President Lincoln Our 16th President!

R.I.P. Sally Kirkland @jzebraa

#SallyKirkland 2025 jzebraa



Born in New York City, Kirkland’s mother was a fashion editor at Vogue and Life magazine who encouraged her daughter to start modeling at age 5. Kirkland graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and studied with Philip Burton, Richard Burton’s mentor, and Lee Strasberg, the master of the Method school of acting. An early breakout was appearing in Andy Warhol’s “13 Most Beautiful Women” in 1964. She appeared naked as a kidnapped rape victim in Terrence McNally’s off-Broadway “Sweet Eros.”

Kirkland acted in such films as “The Way We Were” with Barbra Streisand, “Revenge” with Kevin Costner, “Cold Feet” with Keith Carradine and Tom Waits, Ron Howard’s “EDtv,” Oliver Stone’s “JFK,” “Heatwave” with Cicely Tyson, “High Stakes” with Kathy Bates, “Bruce Almighty” with Jim Carrey and the 1991 TV movie “The Haunted,” about a family dealing with paranormal activity. She had a cameo in Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles.”

Kirkland was also known for disrobing for so many other roles and social causes that Time magazine dubbed her “the latter-day Isadora Duncan of nudothespianism.”

Kirkland volunteered for people with AIDS, cancer and heart disease, fed homeless people via the American Red Cross, participated in telethons for hospices and was an advocate for prisoners, especially young people.

Thanks for all the laughs and the movie "Anna", “The Haunted,” about a family dealing with paranormal activity. She also had a cameo in Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” and was in "The Sting" which was filmed in St. Louis, Missouri!  

XOXO -jzebraa
