Bob Ross Original “Navy Fighter Jet” Oil Painting – A Rare Look Beyond the Mountains

Written By DJR Authentication

Exploring Bob Ross’s Early and Non-Landscape Works

While Bob Ross is universally known for serene landscapes and happy trees, a small number of his early or privately commissioned works explore subjects outside nature — including military and aviation scenes. Navy Fighter Jet (15” x 22”) is one such rare composition.

Value and Collectibility

Authentic Bob Ross paintings are exceptionally scarce, as most were retained by his company or gifted to PBS affiliates. Military-themed works represent an even smaller subset, with current appraised values ranging between $25,000–$75,000, depending on size, provenance, and confirmed authenticity.

Authentication and Appraisal

Because Bob Ross’s signature style has been widely imitated, authentication by an expert appraiser is critical. Provenance documentation, paint analysis, and signature comparison are essential steps in determining legitimacy and market value.
