My Nephew Zachary (the artist formerly known as Zach) is only six years old, but he's already got quite a series of paintings and mixed media works completed. Recently his pieces were shown around his house in Windham, Maine. Favorite showing areas include the refrigerator, hallways, and the bathroom. Attendees to the show included Nana, Papa, Jack the cat, Dad, Mom, Auntie Norma, Gavin, Natalie, and Eric the boy next door.
Zachary is proud of his work, yet humble. "Yep. I did all those," he commented recently. "I just painted them." Zachary's style is whimsical, and colorful. He has worked with finger paints, watercolor, tempra, tissue paper, construction paper, and elmer's glue. Some recurrent color themes include purples, greens, indigo, and various shades of orange. Subject themes include a bug series, a self-portrait, and some abstract work. As Zachary lives in Maine, and spends a great deal of time idly running around outside, nature is a recurrent motif.
