L'artiste peintre Bob Ross a fait le bonheur de millions de téléspectateurs dans le monde. Mais la bataille pour son empire a jeté une ombre sur ses "joyeux arbres".

The Joy of Painting était une émission de télévision américaine animée par le peintre Bob Ross qui enseignait à ses téléspectateurs des techniques de peinture à l'huile de paysage. Bien que Ross puisse terminer une peinture en une demi-heure, l'intention de l'émission n'était pas d'enseigner aux téléspectateurs la "peinture rapide". Au contraire, il voulait que les téléspectateurs apprennent certaines techniques dans le temps imparti à l'émission. Le spectacle a commencé le 11 janvier 1983 et a duré jusqu'au 17 mai 1994, un an avant la mort de Ross.
