The death has just been announced of the great artist Beryl Cook. Beryl was a great lady who painted comical paintings of fat people.

A sad loss. Bless her.

A fantastic talent, what a lot of joy she brought to her paintings. For some reason, the powers-that-be didn't consider what she did as any kind of art.I dont think the fancy national gallery type places bought her paintings. Well, more fool them. She was great.

RIP, Beryl. You lightened up life (and feminism) with your pictures.
