nKieronnWilliamson is considered a child prodigy.
n
n
n
n
n
nIn 2009, Williamson held his second exhibition. All 16 watercolor paintings sold within the first 14 minutes – for a total of more than 18,000npounds!
n
n
n
n(I guess you can tell that he’s British.)
n
n
n
n
n
nAndnat his next exhibition, his paintings sold out within 30 minutes –nfor a total of 150,000 pounds!
n
n
n
n
n
nWaitn– there’s more! In 2011, Williamson sold 33 paintings in 10 minutesnfor a total of 100,000 pounds, and in 2013 he sold 23 paintings forn242,000 pounds, and the very next week he sold 12 paintings forn210,000 pounds.

n
n
nWilliamson made a splash whennhe was just six years old, quickly becoming known in the U.K. for his advancednuse of perspective and shading. Since then, as you can tell, he has been pretty prolific – he makesnnew art all the time.

nI read that Williamson will no longer be attending school, so he can concentrate on painting. I guess that means that he will be homeschooling!
