d'Arcy William Doyle (19 November 1932 – 28 August 2001)
Doyle was an Australian painter known for his nostalgic and idealised depictions of Australian landscapes and historical scenes, particularly of bush life and childhood in Ipswich, Queensland.

Doyle was born in Ipswich, Queensland, on 19 November 1932 to Thomas Doyle and Marguerite McGrath, an Irish Catholic working-class family; his father was a railway worker. He was educated at St Mary's Primary School and St Edmund's College. Largely self-taught, he showed an early interest in art and studied the work of local signwriters due to the limited artistic opportunities in Ipswich.

During the 1960s, while based in Sydney, Doyle gained recognition after being commissioned to paint a mural for the Belmore Returned Services Club. This led to further commissions from other clubs. His work, influenced by American illustrator Norman Rockwell, often portrayed an idealised, nostalgic vision of Australian life, focusing on themes such as bushland, farm activities, childhood games, and sports.

In 1973, Doyle and his family returned to Queensland, settling in Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast, where he lived and worked until his death.
