近日，在英國水彩畫學(xué)會第100屆畫展上，年僅6歲的愛德華·辛普森不但是最小的參展者，還是惟一一個在畫展上賣掉自己全部作品的人。
據(jù)《每日電訊報》12月29日報道，在此次畫展上，愛德華共展出了自己創(chuàng)作的4幅畫。這些風(fēng)格活潑、色彩鮮明的作品分別是《狗》、《貓》、《羊》和《爺爺》，它們在不到兩個小時里就全賣了出去，每幅售價達(dá)到50英鎊。
值得一提的是，年僅6歲的愛德華是此次參展的275名畫家中一位賣掉自己所有作品的人。
愛德華年僅6歲，他的作品能出現(xiàn)在英國的水彩畫學(xué)會畫展上實(shí)在令人稱奇。他創(chuàng)下了該學(xué)會畫展有史以來最年幼參展者的紀(jì)錄。但小小畫家成績斐然也不是沒有一點(diǎn)原因的。愛德華出生于一個繪畫世家，他的祖先在17世紀(jì)就是畫家。
愛德華的父親、現(xiàn)年38歲的奈杰爾·辛普森曾在25年前被指定為英國女王伊麗莎白二世的母親繪制肖像；而愛德華的爺爺萊斯利·辛普森不僅也是一位肖像畫家，而且還為兒童讀物《奇想聯(lián)翩的牧羊狗奧利》配制了插圖。
現(xiàn)年75歲的萊斯利說：“學(xué)校最初無法相信，他的繪畫技巧是如此的細(xì)膩和嫻熟。我想，這一定是他的遺傳基因在起作用。愛德華真的很有繪畫天賦。他由一雙為藝術(shù)而生的眼睛。像他這么小的年紀(jì)，你無法硬教他如何去繪畫。他只是本能地按照他想的去畫?！比R斯利還說：“能接到英國水彩畫學(xué)會的參展邀請，對他而言是個極大的收獲，我們?yōu)樗械津湴痢！?BR> 一位顧客購買了愛德華的作品《狗》，他說：“能買到愛德華的作品讓我們感到非常榮幸?！?BR> 報道說，辛普森祖孫三代將于2006年2月在英國哈羅蓋特劇院聯(lián)合舉行畫展。

A boy of six who became the youngest artist to have work displayed at a British Watercolour Society exhibition promptly sold every painting on show.
Edward Simpson‘s four bold, brightly coloured pieces, entitled Dog, Cat, Sheep and Grandad, were snapped up for ?50 each in less than two hours.
Edward was the only one of the 275 painters to sell all their work at the society‘s 100th show, at the Winter Gardens in Ilkley, West Yorks.
He comes from a family of artists that can be traced to the 17th century.
His father Nigel Simpson, 38, was commissioned to paint the Queen Mother 25 years ago and his grandfather Leslie is a portrait artist and illustrator of the children‘s book Ollie the Whimsey Collie.
Leslie Simpson, 75, from Harrogate, North Yorks, said: "His school couldn‘t believe how detailed and skilled his drawings were. I think it must be in the genes.
"Edward really is a natural. He has an eye for art. It‘s something that you can‘t teach at such an early age, but Edward just knows what to do instinctively."
Mr Simpson added: "It was a real achievement for him to be accepted in the British Watercolour Society‘s exhibition and he has set a bit of a precedent being the youngest ever. We are extremely proud of him."
Keith Peters, who bought Dog as a Christmas present for his daughter, said: "We felt very honoured to buy one of Edward‘s paintings."
The three generations of Simpsons have a joint exhibition of their work in February at Harrogate Theatre.
