31.8.2012

Kieron Williamson, 9, is set to become a millionaire. The English art sensation, nicknamed "Mini Monet," sold out his most recent collection of 24 paintings for a staggering £250,000 ($393,200 CAD), including two landscapes that sold for £34,950 ($55,000 CAD) a piece.

This follows last November's sale in which he sold a dozen landscape paintings for £106,260 ($167,100 CAD). The exhibition before that saw 33 of his paintings sell for £150,000 ($236,000 CAD).

"He is unrivaled. There isn't any other child out there who can paint as well in three different media — watercolour, oil and pastel. His grasp of the technical elements really is a wonderful thing," gallery owner Adrian Hall said last November.
