Clive Madgwick was born in London in 1934 and educated at Epsom College and London University. Clive began painting in 1972 and has progressed from landscapes to genre, figure and sporting scenes. Living and working in rural Suffolk and surrounded by beautiful countryside has led to focusing upon landscape painting. Love of France and Italy has enlarged his liking for atmospheric topographical work. One of his paintings, Buckingham Palace from St. James Park, hangs at Windsor castle in the private collection of  The Queen of England.
