Artist's success...

The ArtsFest Art Fair was a massive success - with hopefully more like it to come - and one of the artists did particularly well.

Paul Cross from Nottingham sold a staggering amount of work, and picked up a few possible commissions along the way. He was thrilled to sell so much, and was ecited to do something so different, so removed from showing work in a gallery.

"Both days of the Birmingham ArtsFest were a great success for me. I did much better than expected. When you're working in a studio, you become very attached and insular towards your work. I'm never sure how people will respond to it. I found it very refreshing to hear the comments and encouragement from people viewing my work. It's a great source of inspiration to listen to their enthusiasm. You often miss the feedback if your art work is hanging in a gallery.
All the other artists on the stalls were friendly, very easy to talk to and share ideas with. I came away feeling positive and raring to paint again. It was a very enjoyable weekend!"

We wish Paul further success with all future events and exhibitions, and shall look forward to seeing some more of his work.

Here is a little taster of his paintings...
