“While the most obvious manifestation of light refraction at this time would occur in the form of a rainbow, I will be concerned with accentuating the infinite, more subtle effects.I find myself inspired increasingly by the works of Turner, who created ephemeral atmospheric effects using large washes of liquid paint. Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell, Glasgow boys: Guthrie Lavery, and Joan Eardley.”Scott’s theories and unique approach to colour identify the importance and accuracy of the CMY colour wheel and the truth about magenta, cyan and yellow as being the correct primary colours of painting.  He continues to work from his Glaswegian studio, lecturing and exhibiting to great acclaim.
