“Mini Monet” art genius set to become millionaire at age 9
The Daily Mail (UK) reports,
A nine-year-old art genius nicknamed ‘Mini Monet’ is about to become a millionaire after selling his latest collection of 24 paintings for £250,000.
Kieron Williamson, from Norfolk, had his landscape pictures snapped up by telephone and internet buyers from around the world in just 15 minutes during a recent sale.
The youngster only started painting during a family trip to Devon and Cornwall in 2008 – before then he had just coloured in dinosaurs his parents had drawn for him.
But since then he has become an international art sensation with some of his pieces being bought for tens of thousands of pounds.
The paintings sold recently included two landscapes priced at £34,950 each while even small pastels which took him just a few minutes to paint sold for between £6,000 and £7,000.
