An exhibition of paintings by a seven-year-old artist from Norfolk sold out, fetching about £150,000 in half an hour.

Works by Keiron Williamson, from Holt, have sold to fans from as far away as Arizona in the USA.

The exhibition opened at the Picturecraft Gallery in Holt.

Gallery owner Adrian Hill said: "Keiron has probably become one of the most collectable artists currently exhibiting worldwide."

The paintings, which include landscapes and town scenes, fetched between £1,825 and £7,995.

Kieron said he likes painting landscapes in Norfolk.

"I like them because they've got big Norfolk skies and not too many hills or mountains," he said.
