Paintings by mini-Monet in demand

A 10-year-old "mini Monet" who lives in England paints stunning floral landscapes that have sold for as much as $12,000. Daisy Watt only started painting four years ago, when she was six. Two of her grandparents became ill and she wanted her pictures to cheer them up.


Her mom, Karen, spotted Daisy's talent and asked if she'd like to paint a canvas to be displayed at a local gallery, and auctioned for charity. It was so popular that 100 special edition prints were commissioned and snapped up by buyers from Canada to Hong Kong. Since that moment in 2017, she has earned about $62,000 through her artwork, and donated it all to charity.
