An avid fisherman and all-around outdoorsman, Scott Yeager offers a visual diary of his love for the outdoors through his paintings. In his youth, Scott filled sketchbooks with drawings and paintings of plants, animals, and all things of the natural world that inspire him. He could often be found seated beside a marsh or river with a field scope and a sketchpad, studying the forms and rhythms of waterfowl. In his adulthood, Scott studied at the prestigious Scottsdale Artists School in Arizona and has sought individual study with other artists. Firsthand experience of the subject is at the core of his work, and he creates a constant flow of plein air paintings as a result. Many of these stand on their own as works of art, and many are the springboard for more developed and larger works in the studio. Scott’s travels take him from Maine in the East to Alaska in the West. Most of his favorite destinations are in the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest. Scott resides in Woodland Park, Colorado, with his wife, Marie, and their son, Joseph.

Yeager writes of the painting: “Buffalo have always been an inspiration for me because of their great size, where they live, and their place in history. Add to that the late afternoon sun on golden grass and there’s a color and mood unique to the West and buffalo country.”
