Bob Ross, Patron Saint of Calming Perms, passed away all the way back in 1995, but the legacy of both his Joy of Painting and Beauty is Everywhere how-to series remains one of the pinnacles of human goodness and purity. His landscapes, while not necessarily the most technically impressive, are wonderfully soothing and cheery, which might be partly why Wizards of the Coast decided to pay homage to the late artist within its dark, highly combative fantasy world.
For its ongoing Secret Lair series,WotC recently announced its “Happy Little Gathering” run of collectible, limited edition Magic: The Gathering land cards, featuring two designs for each terrain type (plains, swamp, island, forest, and mountain) that highlight actual landscape portraits licensed from the Bob Ross Estate.
