Richard Ridsdale Scott was born on 5th May 1938 in Bromley, where his early memories were dominated by wartime misfortunes, including a direct hit to the family home in a German bombing raid.
He attended Bickley Park Preparatory School before being sent to board at Cranbrook School. On leaving school, Richard enrolled at Lowestoft College and from there he moved to Camberwell School of Art to take his National Diploma in Design.
A founder member and president of The Suffolk Group of artists, Richard painted almost exclusively in oil on small boards. His subject was the local landscape, always including man-made structures but seldom human figures. His paintings favoured the half-light and evocative atmosphere of dusk.
He exhibited at the Chappel Galleries in Essex and at numerous mixed exhibitions including the RA Summer Exhibition, the New English Art Club annual exhibition, and the Suffolk Group annual exhibition.
