Now you can get your fluffy clouds and happy little trees...on demand!

Netflix has added the 26-episode first season of Bob Ross: Beauty is Everywhere to their streaming lineup.

Ross, who passed away in 1995, became a public television icon with his series The Joy of Painting and, after his death, gained a new and somewhat ironic sort of fame from the internet, where his oddly charming and perpetually upbeat demeanor made him the subject of hundreds of memes.

The Joy of Painting Facebook page, which announced the Netflix acquisition earlier today, has about 1.5 million fans.

Ross would likely have enjoyed his postmortem success; in the 1990s, he did a series of TV spots for MTV that capitalized on the nostalgic and sometimes ironic affection for his work.

Ross hosted The Joy of Painting from 1983 to 1994. Twitch streamed all 403 episodes of the show back to back last year.

Beauty is Everywhere was designed as a finite collection, filmed in 1991 and featuring, besides twenty-plus episodes, an appearance by Ross's pet squirrel.

Netflix announced the addition today with a tweet reading: "His teachings are eternal. His hair is immovable. He is Bob Ross."
