In the British county of Norfolk, in the town of Ludham lives a seemingly unremarkable boy Kieron Williamson. He lives with his parents and younger sister, loves video games, football and is considered the best defender in the school team.

However, any modern art critic who truly loves his work and follows the birth of new legends of painting will tell you that 15-year-old Kieron Williamson is not just a boy, but an accomplished impressionist artist who has several solo exhibitions and dozens of works sold. And there are now about three thousand people in the queue who want to buy his canvases.

Kieron paints landscapes, sometimes trying to add a little movement to the paintings — a walking person or a flock of flying birds. The boy began to draw independently at the age of six, before that he loved coloring books and mostly black colors. Of course, masterpieces did not immediately come out from under his brush. However, when Kieron turned eight, the entire British press referred to Williamson as "little Monet", all because of his impressionistic style of writing.

Kieron created this work when he was six years old.

In 2011, the young artist bought a house in Ludham near the place where the master lived, whom the boy considers his idol:

"My favorite artist, Edward Segow, was also born in Norfolk. The house where he lived is a little further from ours. I am pleased that I can walk along the same road that he once walked and draw the same sky," Kieron says.

At the age of 11, the boy created paintings for which art connoisseurs were ready to give a lot of money.

The artist is sure that he will be engaged in painting and football at the same time, but for now he dreams that his works will be auctioned at Bonhams auction.

And most likely, his dream will come true, because looking at Kieron's works today, it's hard to believe that they belong to the brush of a 14-year-old artist.
