I wish to dedicate this blog to an amazing artist whose latest exhibition we visited in our nearest town of Holt. As we looked at these oil painting, water paintings and also pastels we were gob smacked at how good they were, if I could I'd have bought one but the cheapest was £1,500. They went up to £12,000 and more....
Why, you may ask, do I speak of this artist in particular? Well firstly he is a local lad and secondly he is a lad, that is he is just nine years old.
Now we all know that people hype these sort of stories up, but having seen an exhibition of Turners life's work and his ability at 9 years, well this kid is something else. He will never be a Turner but then Turner could never have been a Williamson.
Have a look at a few You Tube news stories..........
The August exhibition sold out in 11 minutes and raised over £150k, meanwhile the lad can be seen cycling his bike around town, because at the end of the day he is just a boy that draws and paints, but with a very remarkable gift.
I want to be jealous of his skill but I (actually all of us) just felt in awe of such a young talent and a privilage to be able to witness the beginnings of another master who we all think will be there with the greats.
Watch out for the name of Kieron Williamson.
