If you have been around here for any length of time you will know that Sunday mornings are my anticipated adventures in arm chair traveling with Mr. Carrington. Iwan takes us on all sorts of excursions and introduces us to lots of things. One of those ‘things’ is the artist Beryl Cook. Check out his recent Escape to Plymouth:
I have to admit I find Cook’s work entertaining on many levels. I love her use of color and the unique way she creates her people. That touch of humor and whimsy mixed with truth is refreshing. I get the feeling that buried in each work is a mischievous elf sharing some magic.
You might find THIS article from the BBC of interest, too. There is something radical about painting people who are living their true lives and not being afraid to add a touch of sauciness, too. For more background check out THIS article from 2014.
Enjoy!
