While we're on the topic of interesting news items that appeared on my Yahoo homepage today

Here's a cool article on a seven year old painter who sold 16 watercolors in 14 minutes for a total sum of 17,000 pounds, crazy!

wow, the kid sure does have some talent. Very nice watercolor pieces, lots of understanding of color tones, depth perception etc. Good job kid!

Have you guys seen the documentary "My Kid Could Paint That"? It's a documentary about Marla Olmstead, a then 4 year old "prodigy" painter, and the debate as to whether she in fact painted her pieces by herself, or with the help of her father. For a short time, she was selling out all of her shows. Her pieces were fetching upwards of 10k pounds. A very good doc that i highly recommend to any art enthusiast. Thanks for this post, Ken, great read/video .
