Mending the Nets, Gloucester, Mass.

Wiggins excelled at scenes of waterfront activity and painted many scenes at Gloucester, Massachusetts, a coastal town that was a summer artists' colony. He moved to Yonkers in 1923 and, as a member of the Yonkers Art Association, exhibited in the inaugural exhibition of the Yonkers Museum of Science and Arts, now the Hudson River Museum. This painting, Mending the Nets, was included in their 1935 Annual Exhibition.
