Sadly, Charles Clixby Watson died in 1964, at the young age of 57, just as his personal paintings were moving into several new and invigourating phases. Since that time, most of his work (and also his reputation as a foremost painter) has been in the care of his family friend David, who created this web-site. It has taken years to achieve a proper listing of all of Clixby's paintings, and - indeed - even now, it is not certain that they are all listed here. Every month, one hears of another painting, hanging in a private house, or a gallery somewhere, in one part of the world or another, which nobody knew existed. Whenever possible, these works are quickly added to the lists in this web page, so that this site becomes as comprehensive as one can make it.
It should be appreciated that it is not possible to exhibit all of an artist's work on a web-site, even as it is impossible to exhibit them all in a gallery. However, by showing samples in each section of the listings on the 'Gallery' page, an attempt has been made to portray some of Clixby's abilities, skills, and craftsmanship. If a member of the public takes an interest in a particular title which is listed on the 'Portfolio' page, but is not shown on the 'Gallery' page, or any of the other pages, it should be possible for a small image to be sent by E-mail or by post.
When an art collector wishes to purchase one of Clixby's paintings or drawings, in whatever media, it may be possible to direct that collector to the present owner, who may or may not, wish to sell. Since Clixby's work is rarely available in an auction house, it is not easy to estimate values. These must depend upon the demand at any one time, as well as the country in which the auction takes place.
