Terminally ill boy, Leo Haines is already the star of his own Amazing Art Exhibition though he is suffering from Cerebral Palsy and terminal pulmonary vein stenosis, a condition that means the veins running from his heart to his lungs will become eventually blocked, killing him.

Leo spent his first year of his life in the hospital. Doctors notified his mother Marianna Haines, 26, that little Leo would die in his first year but his spirit moved him to home. Leo Haines, a five years old boy, frequently struggled to communicate with his family because of his severe illness, which includes intermittent deafness.

Not only did the brave little boy survives but also he has a talent of painting which is recognized by his grandmother Marianna Thomas. Painting became a healing hobby for him. According to Britain’s Daily Mail reports, “That was before he discovered painting. With a canvas on the floor and a selection of colorful paints, he began to create abstract works with sweeping blocks of color, not so dissimilar to that of the famous artist, Jackson Pollock”.

Leo now has 40 unique works, suggestive of the American abstract artist Jackson Pollock, featuring in their very own art exhibition where they are being sold for charity. Brian Thomas, 59, his grandfather said, 'My wife, his grandmother, is a well-known local artist and it started with Leo joining in, basically uninvited, into her work. 'So she used to get him a canvas and set him up with paints on the floor and it just went from there. 'It began by getting him to recognize different colors and mixtures and shapes. Now it is his favorite pastime’.

He added 'I suppose you'd call them impressionism - they're definitely inspired by his choice of colors, and I think he's got a very good choice in colors. 'And they're really quite good. The first day of the exhibition a man came in and got halfway down the wall and turned to me and asked, 'Are you Leo?' - Quite seriously. 'He thought they'd been painted by an adult, and I pointed him to the other wall which tells Leo's story. He immediately bought a painting. We've got about 40 in the exhibition, and they represent two years of Leo's work.'

'One of the ways we actually got him to communicate is through activities - painting is one of those things that he can do'. 'My wife's taught him a sort-of no boundaries approach. It has been great for Leo - it's got him communicating. He has at least three sessions a week, and in the winter four or five'. 'Some children of his age would not concentrate for more than 15 minutes, but he loves painting so much he can be absorbed for an hour and a half.'

The paintings are being sold at Taunton Library which range between £4 and £110 until Saturday. All proceeds are for the children's unit at Musgrove Park Hospital where he still receives treatment.
