For this photographic artist opportunity, the gallery is seeking works that, as with the exhibit’s title, attempt to evoke the spirit of artist Bob Ross. He encouraged millions to explore their personal creativity and ‘happy little trees’ were a foundation for many of his artistic works. In this exhibit, the displaying artists will point their creative focus to trees in all of their many forms, whether they be happy or sad trees, big or small trees, or trees standing quietly alone against a landscape or trees as part of a mightly forest.
