Two Bob Ross Paintings, Once a Craigslist Listing, Head to the Auction Block

Two paintings by Bob Ross, the paint-along instructor familiar to generations of public television viewers, turned up through an ordinary Craigslist listing and are now bound for auction. Estimates on the pair point toward six figures, a number that reflects how much stronger the market for his canvases has become. For collectors watching that market, the sale adds two rare, freshly surfaced works to a field where his paintings rarely come up at all.
