Clive Madgwick RBA 1934-05 Oil Waterfall  & Sheep Clive Madgwick RBA 1934-2005 %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
We are very pleased to offer this charming oil of the English countryside by the artist Clive Madgwick, who has signed it to the lower right hand corner with his oval monogrammitic signature, with the C & M as a monogram. It is entitled on a label to the frame 'The Waterfall', but this was presumably by the gallery. The painting depicts a rural scene on a bright sunny day, where a waterfall is sprashing from a rocky cliff into a pool below., which is surrounded by vegetation. A sheep is gazing out over the scene from the top of the cliff.

Clive Madgwick was born into a medical family in Surrey in 1934 and first started painting when at Epsom College. However, he followed family tradition and read dentistry at Guy's Hospital before joining the RAF as a dentist.

After leaving the RAF in 1965, he moved to Little Waldingfield in Suffolk, joining a practice in Sudbury. In 1968, after a bad bout of glandular fever, he rediscovered his enjoyment of painting. He started by sketching local houses in pen and ink, then watercolours and then acrylics. These went down well with local people and demand for his work grew and continued throughout the 1970s and 80s.

Living in rural Suffolk his subjects were mainly agricultural, field sports and countryside scenes. In the late 70s and 80s, he began to exhibit locally in Suffolk and became of Member of the Society of Equestrian Artists, United Society of Artists and a Member of the Royal Society of British Artists. He won the Royal Landscape prize in 1985.

He obtained commissions from Boots, Calor Gas, Abbey National Building Society and Manns-Claas for his work. In 1989 Her Majesty the Queen saw a print of his of Buckingham Palace and enquired whether the original was available. As it had been sold, Clive painted another copy and presented it to Her Majesty in a private ceremony and it hangs in Windsor Castle to this day, having survived the fire, joined by another couple of Madgwick originals.

Clive started travelling around Europe on painting trips, including France and Italy, where he painted scenes in Venice. In 1992 he became a full time professional artist. He was very prolific and, interestingly, kept a photographic archive of many, if not all, of his paintings. He saidly died in 2005 at the early age of just 70.

Examples of his work in oils and watercolours may be found on google images, as well as the usual auction results sites.
