Richard J. Doyle

I remember "Dr.Doyle" as I would call him from taking Twig Painting and Advanced Twig Painting at American International College. He would always respond with a resounding, "Yes!" I enjoyed my classes so much. He always gave us a relaxed environment for creativity. Professor Doyle always encouraged my abstract expressionism. One day, I was driving by and some of my fellow students dropped by his gallery. He welcomed us warmly. There I saw and appreciated his great talent. Richard Doyle was a...

Doyle was a great artist and very eccentric at times. His last book was quite revealing of his sense of humor, which he had a great amount of. I spent many hours sitting with him and being entertained by his talents. It was sad to see him in the last years, but I am glad to have known him and own some of his originals. DOYLE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY. My condolances to his family. Janet Singleman Proios

I met Rich Doyle the twig painter when I took over Angotti's Barber Shop in 1985 or 1986 ( 135 Boston Rd. 4 doors away ). I was there 10 years before I had to leave because of medical reasons. I would always stop by and sit with him on many occasions. He had a weird sense of humor and he was kooky at times, but a GREAT guy and FUN to talk with. He will be missed by many. I wish I had a painting from him. If I knew he doodled on the spot, I would have asked him to do a drawing of me as a...

I had Mr. D. at AIC for painting. He was one great (and sometimes insane)guy. I will never forget him!

I attended grammar and high school with RD. As fantastic and unusual his art work is, I can stiil hear his angelic voice singing "Oh Holy Night" for school shows and pageants before it changed of course, it was unforgettable, especially considering how deep his adult voice became. He must be singing with the Angels for sure!

I used to spend a lot of hours sitting with Richard discussing whatever was going on at the time. I married and Richard stopped sitting outside as he had always done. A part of the Pine Point history has now left us.

We have 2 family pastel portraits done by Mr. Doyle, also several sketches given to us when we were there. He always had a great story to tell. We will treasure our artwork and miss seeing him at work.

AS A YOUNG MAN WE USE TO VISIT AND HANG AROUND HIM AND WATCH HIM DO HIS ART WORK. I ASKED IF HE WOULD DRAW MY FACE,HE DID.. I WILL MISS HIM,,I STILL HAVE THE DRAWING AND WILL, AND HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF HIM THROW MY LIFE. HE WAS A HAPPY FUN MAN TO KNOW.RIP,YOUR FRIEND FRANCIS
