Yes we are coming up to January 1st when things go public domain in the UK. I understand there will be a bit of a party. Fireworks and suchlike.
My list of works that go PD is a bit short at the moment and mostly focused on the your paintings thing but I hope to expand it a bit before the new year:
The most prominent British writer to die in 1941 was Virginia Woolf, so no doubt we'll see a spate of reprints by about March. Others include Hugh Walpole (prolific but mostly forgotten), P. C. Wren ("Beau Geste"), A. G. Macdonell ("England, Their England"), H. E. Marshall ("Our Island Story").
Non-fiction writers include Sir James George Frazer ("The Golden Bough") and Evelyn Underhill (a major writer on Christian mysticism).
