Painting Prodigies



This little 7 year old painting prodigy has sold 33 paintings already for $240,000.

reminds me of 'My Kid Could Paint That' which I watched on a flight on my way back to LA a few months ago. I remember liking it a lot. It's about a little girl who's had a bunch of exhibits already, and she paints these magnificent works of art, but the documentary suggests that it's actually her dad who's painting them. The documentary set up the little girl in front of a canvas and watched her paint, and in no way was it comparable to the works that she was selling and exhibiting.

Also, did you know that restaurants don't put dollar signs next to their food so you'll end up spending more? The reason is because when we see $, the anchor in our mind is activated, but when there's a lack of $ our anchor changes to more of an inconsequential one.. A number is just a number until it's weighted differently and assigned a value.
