His paintings fetch thousands and attract buyers from all over the world.
But while his watercolours, pastels and oil paintings hint at a talent honed through decades of practice, Kieron Williamson is barely halfway through primary school.
The seven-year-old prodigy sold his latest collection of paintings for £150,000 [about $245,000 Cdn] at the weekend, with all 33 works sold in just 30 minutes.
He paints up to six paintings a week and 700 people have registered on a waiting list for an original.Until two years ago, Kieron's artistic talents stretched only to colouring in dinosaurs drawn for him by parents Keith, 44, and Michelle, 37.
But on a family holiday to Cornwall he was inspired by visits to harbours and ports and began producing 'mind-blowing' images of the boats in the water.
Gallery owner Adrian Hill said: 'Kieron has probably become one of the most collectable artists currently exhibiting worldwide. He's impressionist without being too abstract.
'He is years in advance of where he should be.'
Kieron's parents plan to buy him a house with his earnings and invest the rest for him until he is 25.
And here's the little artist producing another valuable painting.

That's it, buying Dawson a new set of pencil crayons, water colored paints,whatever it takes! It will be our next summer project, drawing. Goodness me, the money the drawings go for, at such a young age. What talent.
