Paintings by a prodigy

Autumn de Forest, who turns 9 this month, has become one of the art world’s youngest and biggest stars. Dozens of her paintings have sold at auction for a total of about $250,000.

Here is Autumn in 2009 at an art fair in her native Las Vegas. Then 7 years old, she presented work she had completed at age 6, the year she discovered her full talent.

'Distant Flowers'

One of the art masters to whom Autumn is often compared is Henri Matisse. Like him, she uses vivid colors and often paints flowers.
