Artist Beryl Cook, known for her colourful and comic paintings of larger-than-life ladies, has died at the age of 81.
She died peacefully at her home in Plymouth on Wednesday with her husband and family at her side.
Cook had no formal training and did not take up painting until her 40s, but her work went on to become hugely popular.
An exhibition celebrating Cook's 80th birthday was held at the Portal Gallery in London in October 2006.

She never really caught on here in the States. I do remember her drawing of some English nudists drinking tea. As comedian Victoria Woods describes her, "Rubens with jokes."
