Biography
Painter and bushman, was born in Ipswich, Qld. Self-taught, he became a full-time artist in 1961 after leaving the navy. A good draughtman and an experienced bushman, he became known for his sentimental paintings of Australian rural life, often featuring stereotypical old time shearers, drovers, farmers or small rural communities. His most popular works were a series of murals he did for RSL clubs and surf pavilions around NSW. Photographic prints of his paintings were sold in framing and other modest commercial art shops throughout Queensland and NSW, e.g. Cunnamulla in 2000. The originals sold well to private collectors; not long before his death a British collector paid $100,000 for his Man from Snowy River . Darcy Doyle died at home in Mudgeeraba, Qld, on 28 August 2001, aged 68. His work is not represented in any public collection. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
