Pictured: Incredible watercolour paintings by boy aged just SIX

By Andrew Levy
Last updated at 8:59 PM on 30th July 2009

A street scene from thepaintbrush of a child usually involves triangle-topped boxes forhouses. And often an unnaturally large dog.

But Kieron Williamson's attempts are so beautifully rendered that artists ten times his age will be filled with envy.

Expertshave said that the six-year-old's atmospheric paintings, which beganwith harbour scenes and expanded to include rural vistas, animalportraits and landmarks, have perspective, shadow and reflections thatdemonstrate an ability well beyond his years.

Streets ahead:One of the stunning watercolours by six-year-old Kieron Williamson. Theonly hint that this is a child's work is the slightly wobbly signature

He is even preparing for his first exhibition in a gallery near his home in Holt, Norfolk.

His mother, Michelle, said: 'Until last year he didn't draw anything and in fact we had to draw dinosaurs for him to colour in.

'Theturning point was when we took our first family holiday to Devon andCornwall last May and he liked the boats and scenery. He asked for someplain paper and started drawing his own stuff.

Prodigy: Kieron was inspired to start drawing boats on a family holiday in Devon and Cornwall

Sunday art school: Kieron's watercolour of a local church

'At the time, they were like the drawings of most five-year-olds but he really took off after going to some art classes.'

Mrs Williamson, 36, a nutritionaltherapist, is married to art dealer Keith, 43. The couple also have adaughter, Billie-Jo, five.

'We often think about why Kieron haschosen art in this way and I think it's because we live in a top-floorflat and we have no garden or outside space, so perhaps he's had tocreate his own scenery,' she said.

'Faultless': One of Kieron watercolours captures weathered cottages in a Norfolk street with a tremendous sense of perspective

A walk in the park: One of his many atmospheric rural scenes

Kieron appears to agree. 'I likepainting because it's fun and inspiring. It makes me think of places Ican't see,' he said. His talent was recognised by a family friend,artist Carol Ann Pennington, who offered to give him lessons.

She said: 'I have known Kieron since he was a baby but I had no idea he had it in him.'

His hero is Norfolk landscape artistEdward Seago, who died in 1974. The late Queen Mother was an avid fan,and bought many of his paintings.

Evocative: Another of Kieron's paintings captures light, reflections and a flight of birds above beached boats

Several other artists with similar unusual gifts have suggested they have had past life experiences as artists, or are channeling artists who are in the spirit world.

Kindness taught in Seattle school's online class

By Linda Shaw
Seattle Times education reporter

If you recently found a shiny gold dollar coin in downtown Bellevue,
thank the kindness class. Ditto if you stumbled upon a piece of glass
art in Pioneer Square, or a lottery ticket taped to a bus shelter
with a note saying, "This may be your lucky day."

Since mid-September, the 250 people in Puget Sound Community School's
online course learned about kindness by practicing it.

Along the way, they took emotional risks, repaired relationships,
improved their outlook on the world, and realized that kindness is
contagious.

Signing up for the class "just felt like the right thing to do in
order to step outside of myself and see the world as a helpful, kind
place, as opposed to a frightening place," said Barbara Kyllingstad,
of Seattle, who enrolled as a way to combat the isolation she's felt
since she got laid off from Washington Mutual this year.

"I feel a lot more peaceful and positive about the world."

The phrase "random acts of kindness" first showed up at least a
decade ago, a play on the expression "random acts of violence." Since
then, books, movies and even national organizations have sprung up to
keep the trend going.

Puget Sound Community School's kindness class ‹ now in its 15th year
‹ is a homegrown example that this year drew a record number of
students. A few were teenagers who attend the small, private school
near the Chinatown International District, which serves grades six
through 12, but many were friends and friends of friends who live as
far away as Poland.

Class instructor Andy Smallman, co-founder of the school, calls it a
"positive virus."

Smallman offered his first kindness class just to the teens at his
school, where creating a nurturing environment is central to the
educational philosophy. It was so successful he offered the second
class online, inviting anyone, anywhere, of any age, to sign up.

Watching 'ripples'

"It was the idea of throwing a little pebble into a pond and seeing
how far the ripples would go," he said.

The first assignment: Do something kind for yourself. Like airplane
passengers instructed to put on their own oxygen masks first in an
emergency, we all need to tend to ourselves before we can care for
others, Smallman says.

The second assignment: Do something kind for someone you love.

Then for a neighbor. Then for a stranger.

Awesome chutzpah! (daring/ gall)

It's not so much snatching victory from the jaws of defeat as dinner from the jaws of danger.

But even the imposing presence of an adult leopard at feeding time is not enough to get between plucky young Rattus Norvegicus (better known as the brown rat) and a free meal.

This extraordinary series of images were captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge, as he trained his camera on the leopard for a course project.

The little rat - thought to be onlytwo to three months old - was spotted scampering into the leopard'senclosure shortly after feeding time at the Santago Rare Leopard Project, in Hertfordshire.

So intent was the plucky rodent on its mission to snatch a tasty snack, that it seemed not to notice that its path was taking it within a whisker's breadth of 12-year-old Sheena.

Clutching a corner of raw meat with its tiny paws, the rat busily tucked in, until it sensed one of those whiskers moving in.

Sheena, bemused by the interloper coming between her and the remains of dinner, padded over on paws big enough to wreak vengeance with a single swipe.

But rather than giving the thief at very least the hearty set down it deserved, she gingerly lowered her nose for an exploratory sniff.

Rattus paused, lifted its dainty pink claws in submission, then - obviously deciding on a nothing-ventured-nothing-gained approach - continued to tuck in.

And after another tentative investigation, Sheena gave the leopard equivalent of a shrug and turned away.

Mr Gutteridge, 19, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, thought the rodent was a mouse.

Mr Gutteridge said: 'I have no idea where it came from - he just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. 'He didn't take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself.

'But the leopard was pretty surprised - she bent down and sniffed at it and flinched a bit like she was scared.

'It was amazing, even the keeper whohad thrown the meat into the enclosure was shocked - he said he'd neve rseen anything like it before.'

An expert at the Wildlife Trust said the creature was in fact a young and 'inexperienced rat', identifiable by its big paws and ears and more importantly its bald, scaly tail with a thick base.

Leopard project owner Jackie James added: 'My son threw meat in for the photographers and it just appeared. Sheena batted it away but it just came back. The determined little thing took no notice and just carried on.'
