Keiron Williamson
Keiron Williamson's work will go on display

Young master, aged 6 gets first exhibition

A six-year-old's paintings of beauty spots are to go on display after amazing gallery owners.

Keiron Williamson's watercolours of Holt, the Norfolk village where he lives, are the envy of adult artists.

Carol Ann Pennington, who owns The Last Picture Show in Town gallery and gave Keiron art lessons, said: "His work is phenomenal. He gets up at dawn and paints until he goes to school. He pops into the gallery nearly every day; he is always looking at other artists' work and although he's not copying, it is as if there is a camera in his head taking it all in for future reference."

Another gallery, Picturecraft, is planning a winter show of his work.

Mother Michelle said Keiron was "a typical boy who goes at about 200 miles an hour" and enjoyed football and riding his bike until a holiday in Devon inspired him to sketch boats.

Amazing! That's all I can say - I had tried water color many years ago and I can't even get this close to this boy's work. Such a talent!

As an artist myself I applaud Keiron's tallent and would like to support his future efforts by puchasing one of his works. As a seaside resident would prefer a Norfolk seascape, as this is obviously Keiron's passion.

Such a lovely inspiring story after a website full of gloom. Well done Keiron, keep up the beautiful artistry, and you will do your nation proud. I look forward to seeing your work in the Tate in years to come!
