Myers has many distinguished awards and honors for his oil paintings and sculptures, many have been awarded in Texas, New York, Arizona, and New Mexico.  Scott captures fleeting moments of beauty, whether it is a smile on a childís face, a beautiful thundercloud before sunset, or the first day on a working horse ranch.  "This is a gift and a responsibility to which I will be committed for life.”
 
Many of his life-size sculptures are in private collections, museums, and ranches in Texas, California, Utah, Florida, and Colorado.
