14-year-old Welsh art prodigy’s latest painting is simply stunning

The young Welsh painter who went viral earlier this year thanks to a beautiful piece of art that people couldn’t believe was painted by someone so young, has revealed her new work – and c is simply beautiful.
Last June, Makenzy Beard, a student at Bishopton Comprehensive School in Swansea, garnered thousands of applause online, after his artwork by a local farmer named John Tucker was posted on Twitter by his school.
The incredibly lifelike portrait was proclaimed to be so beautiful that it looked like a photograph, capturing the farmer in a high-visibility jacket and knitted beanie.

Makenzy’s painting was so impressive that it was selected for display at the Royal Academy Young Artists’ Summer Show in London.
Now the young artist has revealed her new painting – of her grandfather – Bernard Davies and it is another amazing work with extraordinary detail.
