For your consideration we offer for sale this original oil painting by the artist, John Scott, dated 1973. This painting features a mountain man scene from the 1800s. It is in a period frame which shows some stressing (the stressing could be from age or it may have been made that way. See close-up pics). The painting is done on masonite board. John T. Scott was born on a farm in Gentilly, a well known section in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1940. Throughout his many years of life, until his death in 2007, Scott did some remarkable things in the world of art, including being a painter, printmaker, collagist and sculptor. But he is perhaps best known as being a prominent sculptor in his 67 years of life. Scott was known for his vibrant abstract pieces, and his art is displayed throughout many prominent locations. One of these such locations includes his alma matter and a place he spent several years teaching, Xavier University of Louisiana. His sculpture, Ancestral Legacy, is proudly displayed in the courtyard of this campus.
