About the Artist

d'Arcy W Doyle

d’Arcy W. Doyle was a 20th-century Australian painter known for his nostalgic depictions of his home country. Throughout his images of the outback and historical Australian scenes, he worked in a realist style reminiscent of the illustrations of American painter Norman Rockwell.

Born on November 19, 1932 in Ipswich, Australia, Doyle had no formal education in the arts and learned most of skills from copying the work of sign writers and by drawing his observed environment. He created many wistful images of his homeland Australia, and, in particular, scenes depicting the Australian outback. D'Arcy W. Doyle's artwork was painted in a realist style, and often contained scenes of children playing outside and rural images of people working the land.
