00:00The famous oil landscape painter, whose features include happy little trees and mountains, among others, is on a fundraising mission.
00:10Paintings by artist Bob Ross are heading to auction to help raise money for public television stations after funding cuts by the Trump administration.
00:18The auction house Bonhams says 30 of Ross' original works will go under the hammer, so to speak, starting November 11th in Los Angeles, with more sales planned in New York, London, Boston, and online.
00:31All proceeds will go to public stations that air programs from American public television, including the best of Ross' show, The Joy of Painting.
00:39In all, the collection could fetch up to $1.4 million, not enough to erase the $1 billion in funding cuts, but art enthusiasts often say that every masterpiece starts with a happy little brush stroke.
