The 7-year-old Impressionist

There’s a feeding frenzy that has developed around the British child who paints landscapes. A £150,000 gallery show sold out in half an hour according to news reports with buyers camping out and traveling from the US to purchase the works. The boy is said to produce six paintings a week (think of what his output might be if he didn’t go to school or play?) but still can’t satisfy his 700-name waiting list:

Here’s the details from TNT Magazine:

Kieron Williamson, dubbed the ‘mini Monet’, attracted buyers from all over the world when 33 of his paintings were put up for sale, with one couple from Philadelphia camping outside the gallery for two days before the exhibition started on Friday.

The majority of the talented youngster’s work features Norfolk landscapes and coastal scenery, though there are also paintings of London landmarks and even Hong Kong. The biggest seller was an oil painting entitled Sunrise at Morston, which went for £7,995.
