At an age when most of his peers are just starting to figure out proportion and perspective in art class, Kieron Williamson, 9, has been painting professionally for years.
Dubbed a 'Mini Monet,' the renowned landscape artist just purchased his family a £150,000 ($245,000 CAD) home in Ludham, England, from his earnings. (The home, a former 19th century bank, will remain in trust until his 18th birthday.)
Kieron's last major exhibition saw 33 of his paintings sold within a half hour — for £150,000. His latest 12 paintings will go on sale this week at Norfolk's Picturecraft Gallery. With buyers already promising to camp overnight outside the gallery, the prodigy's exhibit is expected to sell out instantly.

"It's lovely to see a nine-year-old boy keeping traditional landscape painting alive," Kieron's mother, Michelle, told The BBC.
