Bob Ross paintings to be auctioned to support public television

(CNN) – Original artwork by late TV host and painter Bob Ross is set to be auctioned off.

Auction house Bonhams says 30 of Ross’ paintings will be sold at various auctions.

The first, set for Nov. 11, will feature two pieces – “Home in the Valley” and “Winter’s Peace.”

Funds raised will support public television after federal funding cuts.

Ross’ show, “The Joy of Painting,” aired for more than a decade on PBS in the 1980s and 1990s.
