A talented artist, Scott was skilled in painting, drawing and printmaking. Scott was also an avid modeler and exhibited many of his creations at the North Texas Figure Club, where they were greatly admired. Gifted with an exceptional memory, Scott also enjoyed writing detailed accounts of his childhood and sharing those memories with his family.
