Clients/Patrons

One day, a gold Cadillac came slowly up the driveway, to Brian Scott’s Black Creek Gallery. Out jumped a very handsome blond haired, blue eyed man, accompanying actress Kim Cattrall. Miss Cattrall has participated in 70 movies during her long career—she started in London at only 16, after having grown up in the Comox Valley.

Scott was commissioned to paint the family home in Little River. The home was previously the lower ranks barracks at RCAF station Comox, and was moved to its current location.

Cattrall also purchased a large painting for her East Hampton New York home.

The artist was also thrilled when Charlie, personal assistant to James Cameron (Titanic and Avatar) approached him to be the resident artist at their Beaufort winery in Merville.

Scott painted a large round at the entrance way, along with paintings of the barrel room and view of Mount Albert Edward.

Brian loves to wow the tourists with his painted cars and painted clothes.

His favourite patron is Sheldon Smithens, from Canadian Pickers on the history channel. Scott and Smithens were Frat Brothers at UBC in the 1970s.

The show is hugely successful, however; Theresa—Sheldon’s wife gets tired of every female in southern Alberta hitting on her husband. Sheldon has a very cute smile that drives the ladies of all ages crazy!

His Unique Style

Expressionist oil painting produced on location is Brian Scott’s main passion. His emphasis on design and composition with a full spectrum of colour have become the trademark of his paintings.

Brian was thrilled to do a showing with Robert Bateman on Hornby Island, to promote a new arts centre.
