Charles Mayes Wigg (British, 1889-1969) Sailing the Norfolk Broads Oil on canvas Signed lower left, signed and inscribed verso 12 x 16 inches 16 x 20.5 inches, framed Charles Mayes Wigg was a British landscape artist working mostly in watercolours and as an etcher, with only occasional paintings in oils.

He exhibited regularly at the Norwich Art Circle between 1909 and 1936, at the Royal Academy in 1915 and also with the British Water-colour Society.

In 1911, he arrived at the Norwich School of Art and later studied with Frank Spenlove-Spenlove at his Yellow Door School of Art in Beckenham, Kent.
