R. Scott

Millie, I don´t know you, but I am still so sorry for your loss. After reading these condolences, I am also sorry I did not get to meet you and your husband. I wanted to tell you how much I wanted one of his paintings from the Blackhawk Gallery in Saratoga, Wyoming, but it was always just out of my price range at the time. I will forever regret letting "Are You Still There?" (Painting of the cowboy riding up to a church) slip away from me. My best wishes to you as you have and are...

I still think of you everyday. How can I not, with your paintings, prints and sculptures all over my house. I looked forward to the shows where I could see you and Millie. Dinner at your house with my first taste of bear meat, Millie's biscuits and the backyard BBQ's. Memories. Good cowboys are hard to find and harder to lose.

Scott, I still have trouble believing that you are gone. With your pieces in every room, in a small way it is like you are still here, saying, "I'm only serious..." You were one of the nicest people I have ever met and the most talented too. I cannot draw a straight line with a ruler, and you could tell a story in brushstrokes. God must have wanted you to beautify heaven...

I don't remember what year it was, but I met "R" Scott at a trade show in Reno, Nevada. I don't remember if it was the Reno Rodeo or another event. He had beautiful paintings, one of a Hereford bull that I purchased for my parents. It still hangs in their living room. He asked if I had any pictures of me and my horses, so I shared a reined cowhorse picture of me on a little roan bald-faced mare, taking a cow down the fence. He said some day he might paint it for me....but maybe when I see...

Another Cowboy Christmas has rolled around here in Las Vegas, and the first thing that comes to mind is Scott and Millie. We miss seeing them each year and visiting for a bit. Scott was such a talented artist, but I think his (and Millie's) greatest gift was the ability to make everyone feel special. I can't believe Scott has been gone 5 years. I'm sure he is still missed greatly by very many people across the country.

My late wife, Connie, and I bought three wildlife paintings from Scott at his Cowboy Christmas Show in Las Vegas in the early 2000's. Love them to this day. He was a neat person to visit with at the shows as was Millie....

Another year has gone by and I miss you more than ever. It has been hard but I am still eating barbwire for breakfast. Your friend Ann has lung cancer and is in hospice. She gave me all her Scott paintings except for the buffalo which she may be buried with. I am old now but still your kid and cowgirl. I feel like I am talking to you as always. Rest in peace.

I miss you every day. However I am surrounded by your work in every room in my house and will never forget you. I still sit and stare at your paintings, such talent and a wonderful person to boot!

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting R. Scott at the Washington Zoo many years ago where I purchased "White Tigers" an exquisite piece with a very pecial frame he said only his wife "Millie" had the other one...it is truly amazing and work will never be forgotten...
