A majority of Lyle’s professional life had been in upstate New York where he had an architectural practice for over 28 years. He received his professional architectural degree from Syracuse University in 1959 and spent a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.   From 1962 thru 1967 Lyle lived in the San Francisco Bay area, where he spent a year at the San Francisco Art Institute full time studying oil painting, art history, and figure drawing with teachers such as Elmer Bishoff and Richard Diebenkorn.  Lyle taught architectural design at Syracuse University’s School of Architecture for three years as an Associate Professor from 1969 thru 1971.  Through his architectural experience, he has always been involved with the visual world and interested in how we react to our spatial surroundings.  Lyle endeavors to invite the viewer into his paintings through the use of strong colors, light and composition. He strongly admires the work of the Impressionists.

Lyle moved to Albuquerque in 1996 and In 2003 started painting full time upon retirement from TVI Community College as Facility Architect. He continues to devote full time to his art in developing his artistic sensitivity and sharpen his visual skills through painting and observation.  Lyle has studied painting with Albert Handell, Doug Dawson, Deborah Secor, Eric Michaels, Leona Turner,

Richard McKinley and Ann Templeton.  Because of his architectural experience he often incorporates man made structures into his landscapes to give it scale and additional interest.

Lyle continually strives to simplify the elements and abstract the essence of the scene, not to imitate or copy, but to be inspired by the ambiance.  He feels art is like a journey towards understanding our inner relationship to our environment, while developing a greater intuitive response to the beauty around us and hopefully, through Art, to inspire others to further appreciate our natural and man made environment.

In the eight years since Lyle has been painting, he has sold over 80 paintings.
