Students from the Joy of Painting Workshops held at the museum for the past decade are showing off their artistic talents in the Dane G. Hansen Memorial Museum Gallery. Although Bob Ross died in 1995, his style of painting still lives on in workshops across the U.S. The painting classes bring confidence, pride & joy to students who never dreamed they could paint. Although not considered fine art, these classes encourage people to paint, to laugh, to feel a sense of accomplishment, to believe in themselves and to realize "you can do it".

Sandy Seamone & T.R. Mathews have been Bob Ross painting instructors for the past 17 years. After teaching in Logan for a over a decade, they have come to know and love residents and fellow painters in our area. Based out of Arriba, Colorado, Sandy & T.R. travel to cities in Kansas such as Topeka, Manhattan, Deerfield and Logan. Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming are also along their regular teaching route.

Each student takes an individual approach to the painting they are producing, which allows for a tremendous array of variety and personality in the exhibit as a whole. Each piece speaks for itself in representing the wondrous world of art.
