Hello
I didn't really know where to put this but I thought I'd create a post that was separate from favourite television programmes because in my case things became very mood lightening.
Has anyone heard of a TV show called The Joy of Painting presented by an artist called Bob Ross? I hadn't, until I stumbled across it a couple of months ago during another sleepless night. I only caught the last 10 minutes but became so captivated by things that I actually felt happier. It wasn't just the art work - I know nothing about painting - it was the nature of the painter Bob Ross.
Long before I became ill and before mum had developed Alzheimer's disease I'd worked pretty hard at becoming cynical in my approach to life, while I think always knowing that that wasn't what I wanted to be like. I'm not saying that a 30 minute painting instructional has cured me of my hopelessness but things do feel a little better, when I watch the show at least.
"The Joy of Painting" is being shown on BBC 4 at 7.30pm from Monday to Thursday and is repeated in the early morning.
Best wishes to all, David
