O.K., New, current picture! . This is my site for my art, my life, my soul... Hello, I am Barry Scott. I have learned many forms of art, and can work in almost any media. If you have a design need, let me see if I can help you. If the project is too large for me alone, I can refer you to SceCon Scenic Services Inc..I have worked for and with SceCon for many years. They handle the BIG stuff. Please note, on this site, all rights are reserved my me, Barry S. Scott, for the duration of my existance,and that of my heirs. Thank You. __________________ Neo Modern is what I consider this type of art. I have always enjoyed working with geometric designs that move from one space to another. Most of my work of this style is created first in a computer graphics program ( I personally have always used the Corel products.), and then I can adjust colors, curves, whatever I need to get to the feeling I was looking for. Then I start planning the painting itself. Sometimes the painting comes out like the original, many times the design changes and grows as I work it. That is the essence of my art's creation. You can go directly to it's info page by clicking on the painting. Don't even assume this is all I do for art. Check the paintings, but also the photography and digital images. ------------------ I do not create art TO sell, I only create Art, and hope that someday it will sell.

Welcome to my site Barry S. Scott Artist and Artisan Contact me at: AerieArt@hotmail.com I need to tell you, I first heard of 1and1 web hosting when they first came into the USA. They gave me a free trial for a while, and even though it was gratis, I was always treated very professionally, and everything worked perfectly. THAT is why, when it was time to create my own site.... THIS ONE, I shopped around, and found nothing that compared... PLUS, what I had already experienced, convinced me of one thing. Only 1and1 for me. I share this with you. GO FOR IT!

Barry S. Scott The story unfolds... Since 1956 . Hello and Welcome I am Barry Scott, and I wrote and star in this website. I am an artist. I create good forms, and put nice finishes on things wherever I go. I have done this since I was a child, I have just become more obsessive about it as I have grown older. I create in any media I can get at the time, and work as an artisan as my main livelyhood. I have been a professional furniture builder, goldsmith, and graphic artist. I have been a painter of many forms and styles. I take to new media and methods quickly, and enjoy the learning experience as much as the finished article. I enjoy creating a painting just as much as a ring, or a woodcarving, or a good photograph. I love creating on a computer. I have worked in 2D and 3D since computers first became useable for such things. I create everything on this site, except for the links to other sites and paypal buttons. My main use for the Corel graphics disk was to disassemble some vector graphics and see how it was done. At this point in my life, I would like nothing better than to sell off my original creations to support my life and needs. Until that day, I will be content to sell my talent to create art, as at least I am being recognized for that. This is why I created this website, to give me a channel for people to at least see and buy my works, and give me yet another form to create with. Everybody has to be something. I am an artist. I am a native of Norfolk, Virginia. My father was an artist, his father was an electrical engineer of scottish descent. That grandfather worked on the first atom bomb project, my father just wanted atom bombs to go away. My mother was the perfect mom, and had the energy to be so to everyone I ever knew. Her family was a crowd of the nicest, most hilarous people you could ever meet. The Thanksgivings and Christmas gatherings I enjoyed as a child were the stuff that fantasy about life in America was all about, without all that wealth they show you in the movies. I was raised to know that all people are equal, and that we are all free to do as we please, as long as you don't endanger another with your actions. Freedom and Equality for all, this was the premise of my world. I had difficulty accepting that anyone would or should want it any other way. That was the stuff that wars were all about. As a child growing up, I would try to create art like my dad, but I had to be content that he would always have the edge of years of experience on me. I liked to draw and paint, and always loved to take photographs. As a teen I hung around downtown with my mom, she worked at WTAR, a radio and TV station within walking distance of the museum. I got to know Walter P. Chrysler Jr.. He had moved into Norfolk to find a home for his art collection. The Chrysler Museum had a great collection of art from almost every era of creativity through the ages, thanks to Walter. He was a nice fellow, and would take me to see the new Dali, Lichtenstein,or Warhol he had just picked up. One day he called me in the back room and said he had something special to show me. He had just purchaced a Dali melting clock sculpture. He put it in my hands and described the details of it, and I knew that I was holding the work of an artistic master. I knew right then, that was what I wanted to be, an artist whose work could someday bring that kind of feeling to someone, to anyone and everyone! In my early twenties, I was given an opportunity by a man I worked for ( I was making art of all types for him, he created businesses for a moneyed aquaintance), he wanted to know if I was interested in learning to work gold, and be a jeweler. He was making a jewelry casting operation. I always love to learn new things, and I didn't have any experience with metal work sofar. I worked as a goldsmith for the next 15 years or so. I ended up working for the best jeweler in the area before finally opening my own business. Well, that didn't work out too well. I was trying so hard to please everyone else that I lost almost everything I had. As I put down my jewelry tools, I began to paint and photograph again. I had learned something wonderful in the downtime. I had learned from a goldsmith that was training me that speed meant nothing, all people look for in great art was the detail and freshness you could give a project, and had I learned to do detail! My wife, son and I moved to Washington D.C. shortly thereafter. I was able to study a huge amount of art in the museums of D.C., and I am certain that I made more than one security guard nervous by getting too close. To keep limber, I worked by doing faux painting in the Washington Design Center. This was when my painting started to get serious. About this time, my mother and father both passed away, and life in D.C. was getting too expensive to deal with for the time. It was time to return to Norfolk, take care of some family things, and work on my art. I began to work with SceCon scenic services ( I had begun to work with them after the collapse of my business, it was my brother Brian's company.), as there I painted almost constantly on projects that changed fast, new materials, new color schemes. And due to my work at SceCon, I learned to work LARGE. I love to paint big pictures....there is a large wall at the National Gallery with my name on it, I can feel it. I just hope I can get something hanging there before I become one of the dead painters society. This is where you come in...... Now you know where I'm headed with all of this ( other than the fact that I really do enjoy doing all the web work), you can help to get me there! I will do my best to actively promote my art, and you can too! Tell people you know that pay attention to art to come and visit the site. I've got alot of work to do, and a house filled with art. On top of everything else, I need the space to get to the next level of all of this. If you are financially capable, go back to the front and buy some art, I have art for every taste and price range! Go on, get to work! An american dream is counting on YOU! You are getting very sleeeeepy..... You should send this link to all of your art collecting friends...... sleeeeeepy sleeeeeeepy
