Maggi Hambling (born 1945, Suffolk) is a wonderful observer of Nature in her native county of Suffolk, and this image of a magpie taking off is beautifully realised, capturing the first moment of flight. Oil on canvas, signed and dated on reverse. Maggi Hambling's main muse for many years has been the North Sea, but since she also has a deep affinity with Nature and wildlife generally. Her seascapes and images of birds have attracted much critical acclaim and museum acquisitions. We hold a small selection of Maggi Hambling paintings for sale, please ask for further details.
