Help with the name of an old kids tv programme

Not sure how it came about but have had a fit of nostalgia this evening, watching 90s kids programmes on youtube, singing to Rosie and Jim and Tots TV :heart:

Anyway i remember an arty type programme that used to be on with an old fella presenting it and he had a huuge painting of a country scene and every day he used to add a bit to it. It was definately something to do with a hot air balloon in it.

Anyone help i really wanna see it again! :D

    Bob Ross has the unwritten, sole rights of TV painting. Everything in comparison to him pales.

    I always preferred Art Attack myself. Anyone else remember this?

    What a shame that it's gone the same way as almost everything good ITV ever produced...

    Me too. Although even as a kid I thought that "heart" was slightly out of step with "earth, fire, wind, water".....

    (According to Wikipedia, Phil Collins wrote the theme tune... figures)
