LOCKDOWN JOURNAL: COVID-19.40 (Howard Eaglestone)
Abandoned Ambulance. Oil on canvas 36inches square.
I am not sure about this as a painting but wanted to post it now for health workers.
I think it is highly disingenuous and manipulative to suggest that the NHS coped with the pandemic when workers died and doctors, nurses, care workers and others have to work long hours in dangerous and distressing conditions, often without protection. The Government is trying to deflect attention from running down the NHS. The workers are heroes but are being abused. The object is a derelict ambulance I found in a field many years ago in Cyprus.
