Wish you could sketch like this at age eight?

I have often admired the talents of those who like to sketch whilst
at the eyepiece, perhaps trying to capture the visual appearance
of a faint galaxy or nebulae or craters on the Moon.

Such skill usually only comes after many years of practice.

With that in mind, ABC News has an interesting two minute video story about
an eight-year UK boy who has already sold 33 of his own impressionist works
for $270,000. At an age when many children are still finger painting, check out the
extraordinary jaw-dropping images Kieron Williamson is producing.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes! My painting ability is very much restricted to walls

I wish him all the luck for a very exciting future.
