Beryl Cook, one of Britains best loved artists has died at her home in Plymouth at the age of 81. She had been fighting cancer but kept it a secret from all.
Beryl had an enthusiasm for life which was infectious and this was what made her so popular. She could find humour in almost any situation and depicted this in all her paintings of the instantly recognisable fat ladies. Who else, could ever depict scenes like
'Dirty Dancing' ,
Beryl is an artist whose humour filled work will be greatly missed.
