The only problem is that he had to keep cris-crossing the room to see them all.
A first grader at Philip G. Vroom School in Bayonne, McGreevey said he loves art.
McGreevey's mother - who declined to give her name - said her son loves to paint.

Creation Imagination Art Classes and Workshops for toddlers and adults put on this show to broadcast some of the school's local talents.
Stacey Kaelin, a mural the mural artist and mosaicist who works at the library, is also the owner and instructor of the art classes. This is the third annual art show, and this year's exhibit featured the artwork of more than 200 artists ranging in age from two-years-old to adult.

Proud parents snapped photos on with their cellular telephone cameras, seeking to capture the display of art that included everything from Mickey Mouse portraits to tie-dye t-shirts.

Kaelin is best known for her public murals, some of which can be seen in the Bayonne Public Library. She recently illustrated her first book, "Curries and Kababs: Recipes Flavored with Reminiscences," authored by Dipali Sen, the one time director of the library's reference room.
Kaelin has been involved at the Bayonne library for about 17 years, and has put on local art shows. Her work has appeared in the "Bayonne Community News," as well as other publications.
The art show features hundreds of works in assorted media, including work created in pencil, charcoal, watercolor pencils, oil pastels, colored pencils, markers, watercolor paint, craft sticks, acrylics, and recycled materials.
