英9歲男孩畫作賣高價不愁房

　　A British primary school pupil dubbed ‘mini Monet’ has earned enough to buy a new house for his family.

　　吉爾隆•威廉姆森今年9歲，2008年隨家人度假時他開始畫風(fēng)景畫，現(xiàn)在竟已收獲國際聲譽，賺得15萬英鎊在諾?？丝べ徶昧朔慨a(chǎn)。

　　Nine-year-old Kieron Williamson, who has gained international renown since he began painting landscapes on a family holiday in 2008, paid £150,000 for the property inNorfolk.

　　房產(chǎn)在吉爾隆年滿18歲前由信托管理。之前他和父母，姐姐一家人住在一間租來的公寓里。

　　It will remain in trust until his 18th birthday. He previously lived with his parents and sister in a rented flat.

　　吉爾隆的爸爸基思說，“如果吉爾隆長大后不再畫畫，想做其他的事情，至少他不用再擔(dān)心要還房貸。”

　　His father Keith, 44, said: “If he decides he wants to do something completely different when he is older, at least he won’t have to worry about a mortgage.”

　　去年7月底，吉爾隆舉辦了一次畫展，不到半個小時的時間里，他的33幅畫作就賣出了15萬英鎊。

　　Kieron’s last major exhibition of 33 paintings sold for £150,000 within half an hour last July.

　　吉爾隆最新的12幅畫將于本周五在Picturecraft畫廊出售，價格在1,250英鎊至15,595英鎊不等。

　　His latest 12 paintings go on sale this Friday for between £1,250 and £15,595 at Norfolk’s Picturecraft Gallery.

　　預(yù)計這次畫展又將出現(xiàn)搶購一空的一幕，因為已經(jīng)有多為購買者準(zhǔn)備在畫廊外露營徹夜守候。

　　The exhibition is expected to be another instant sellout, with buyers pledging to camp overnight outside the gallery.

　　畫廊所有人阿德里安•希爾說，“這個孩子無人能比，再也找不到其他小孩，像他一樣使用水彩、油畫和蠟筆三種不同畫法。他已將技術(shù)元素掌握得出神入化。”

　　Its owner Adrian Hill said: ‘He is unrivalled. There isn’t any other child out there who can paint as well in three different media – watercolour, oil and pastel. His grasp of the technical elements really is a wonderful thing.
