Doty Street, Madison, WI by Kyle Martin

This is an original oil painting on board measuring 20x24 inches, depicting a residential street scene on Doty Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The artwork is characterized by an American Impressionist or Plein Air style, featuring bold, impasto brushstrokes and a vibrant, warm color palette that suggests late afternoon or seasonal lighting. The composition focuses on a row of multi-story houses with prominent porches and gables, rendered with expressive strokes of ochre, blue, and violet. A significant feature is the play of light on the architecture, juxtaposed against high-contrast shadows. To the right, bare trees with reddish or autumnal foliage frame the scene, while modern vehicles are parked along the curb in the foreground. The work is unsigned on the front, but attributed to contemporary artist Kyle Martin of Reedsburg, WI. The painting is housed in a substantial tiered frame with a black outer moulding, a decorative red floral inner liner, and a gold-toned fillet. Both the painting and frame appear to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible cracking, lifting, or surface loss, maintaining the original texture and sheen of the oil medium.
