I am taking part in the Instagram #portaitsfornhsheroes started by the artist Tom Croft where artists all over the UK offer to paint portraits for front line nhs staff free of charge. This is Anthony. He is Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) usually working in theatre but has since been redeployed to a different hospital to work on COVID ICU. He has worked in the NHS for over 15 years. He was nominated by his wife.


Well done indeed, the images say it’s tough but we’ll get there. All the best to him and his family too.
Thank you Jo. I hope you are all safe and not drinking disinfectant yet. X
Just wanted to say a big thankyou for your portraits of my son, Anthony, you have captured his likeness perfectly. Thankyou for bringing joy into this moment of darkness.
Thank you Julie. I am pleased to be able to contribute in a small way. This crisis has shown us who the important people really are and we must remember them when this is all over.
