Angels by Beryl Cook
Tributes continue to flood in for Beryl Cook. Most of the broadsheets have published obituaries reflecting the great affection for this artist . Cook often started paintings from sketches she made in the Dolphin , her local pub in Plymouth .One of these is the Strippergram. Local Billy explains: “One day a strippergram came in for one of the customers. I don’t remember which one.
“She used to carry these cards around with her and make sketches. That’s what she was doing when Billy saw her with her head down.â€
“She came back a few weeks later and showed me her drawing. That one,†adds Billy, as he points to a Beryl Cook print on the wall above the fruit machine.
