I have long had an interest in the child prodigy artist . What exactly makes a child a prodigy? My old Throndike Barnhart dictionary says “As infant prodigy is a child remarkably brilliant in some respect.” Of course this might include a prodigy in mathematics, music, art or many other areas.

I was reading about a six year old boy who paints like a master. His work is indeed beautiful. Watercolors full of atmosphere and shadow. This young man is named Kieron Williamson. You can find out a bit about him by clicking on the link above or just googling for him yourself. What I find so remarkable about his work is that it is neither child-like, nor dismally “realistic.” I think it communicates as much about the artist as it does the subject matter, in the manner of all great art. As I’ve always known, there is much untapped talent in every child, and some children are certainly destined for greatness in their ability.

Think outside the box! I believe all of us are far more capable of creating than we ever dreamt possible. Do you think you don’t have any talent? Hah! Every one of us has it. I believe it is God-given, and is only waiting to be developed.

Why not give it a try? There is nothing to lose by picking up a pencil and doing a little sketching, or sitting down at the computer and writing your memoirs. The possibilities are so endless. How about redesigning your bedroom? Writing a cookbook? Starting a garden? All of the above! If you can dream about it, you can do it.

Here’s another one that I highly recommend: Start writing your own blog! It is easy, fun and you can develop your writing skills.
