Private View is truly splendid! Unhampered by training Beryl Cook paints (then comments) on life as she observes it!
Beryl Cook's curvy paintings and her captions seem just right in capturing the essence of New York. Itchy feet were the result.
not great art but her people are fun and engaging. her animals and religious painting succeed less well.
Beryl Cook's "The Works" is a picture book for grown-ups with a sense of humor. Her pictures and comments are amazingly fresh and wondrous.
