Most of those happy little trees have a happy little home in Virginia at the Bob Ross Inc. headquarters. According to the company’s president, Joan Kowalski, Ross gave many paintings away over the course of his life, but the company still owns over 1,000 of his iconic paintings and plans to hold on to them.

However, the Smithsonian did acquire a few pieces in 2019 including:

  • paintings
  • an easel used in the first season of The Joy of Painting
  • and fan letters.
  • The museum currently has no concrete plans to display them, but eventually, they’ll go up in the National Museum of American History.

Throughout the course of his 11-year career hosting his PBS show β€œThe Joy of Painting,” Bob Ross is estimated to have painted approximately 1,143 paintings β€” three of the same painting per episode. So where are all those paintings now? A recent investigation by the New York Times revealed that the majority of Ross’ paintings are stored at the Virginia headquarters of Bob Ross Inc. under the watchful eye of Ross’ longtime business partner Annette Kowalski and her daughter Joan, the president of the company. Unfortunately for those interested in purchasing one of Ross’ famous oil landscapes, the Kowalskis apparently have no intention of selling them, as that β€œwasn’t really Bob’s thing.” β€œIt actually has never really occurred to us,” Joan told the New York Times during a video interview. β€œWe’ve never really talked about it.” However, they have donated some of Ross’ paintings to the Smithsonian to be part of a permanent exhibit at the National Museum of American History. Ross’ paintings will be featured alongside the work of other American icons like Julia Childs and Mr. Rogers. RELATED STORIES

Bob Ross is said to have painted over 30.000 panting but none were not meant to be sold. They are allegedly all kept by Bob Ross Inc.

If you are interested in the matter, you can find a 10min long New York Times video that explains it all if you type in "Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them." in your browser...
