A beautiful abstract piece of artwork hung above a bed has caught the attention of hundreds on social media after its very surprising back story was revealed.
Gold Coast grandma Helen Watson shared an image of the painting titled ‘Fire On The Mountain’ and said it was created by her seven-month-old granddaughter Billie.
Mum Georgia Watson, 29, told Daily Mail Australia she set up a canvas smeared with dollops of paint and covered in a plastic sheet for young Billie to wriggle on and create the magnificent artwork.
In a video the creative baby artist can be seen enjoyed herself rolling around and looking at all the colours beneath her, without touching a single drop of paint.
The stunning piece was made for Helen’s birthday and is now a precious keepsake.

And this isn’t the first painting Billie has made.
Georgia said she and young Billie wanted to make a memorable Father’s Day gift for Billie’s dad Brett, 32.
‘We tried to do the typical hand print on a card which was extremely difficult with a wriggly baby. So we decided something on a larger scale might be easier with a little less mess,’ Georgia said.
‘By using a canvas and letting Billie reach out for the colours she liked we set up outside on the grass and tipped paints all over the canvas then placed a plastic sheet over allowing Billie to move around the canvas.’
The painting turned into an incredible blue and white piece of art with shades of gold and black.

The idea is also a great DIY sensory play experience for young Billie who ‘loved it so much’
‘We are so proud of Billie’s little creations. Every piece she does is original and different! She always loves the big reveal when we pull off the plastic sheet and see what work has been created,’ she said.
The paintings take between 30 minutes to one hour to make depending on how long Billie likes to play on the canvas.

Georgia has created an Instagram page that she plans to use to showcase all of Billie’s artworks.
