21. Bob Ross Loved Alaska and Snow
Bob Ross was born and raised in Florida, but when the Air Force brought him to Alaska, he truly felt at home. Ross talked a great deal about his love for Alaska and snow on The Joy of Painting, and that love can be seen in many of the snowy winter paintings he completed on the show. His earliest works, painted on gold pans that he sold for pocket money, also extensively feature snowy Alaska scenes.
