A street scene from the paintbrush of a child usually involves triangle-topped boxes for houses. And often an unnaturally large dog.
But Kieron Williamson’s attempts are so beautifully rendered that artists ten times his age will be filled with envy.
Experts have said that the six-year-old’s atmospheric paintings, which began with harbour scenes and expanded to include rural vistas, animal portraits and landmarks, have perspective, shadow and reflections that demonstrate an ability well beyond his years.

How can I purchase one or more of Kieron’s paintings?

Nice to see the arts are alive and well. I am also an artist from Wisconsin (USA) and would like to purchase one of your sons original painting or drawings. I’ll wait for your reply.

I’m an artist, and the son and nephew of professional artists. The experts are understating the case somewhat. It wouldn’t occur to most artists to even include the water in that top painting, let alone do it properly. One look at that and you can figure out what the local council’s been doing for the last few decades.
I sincerely hope Kieron’s talent and obvious individuality will receive the respect it deserves from the art markets and art colleges. He should be training them.
