An Ealing artist has been commissioned to brighten up the wards at Hillingdon Hospital.

Daniel Haskett, now lives in Berlin but was born and bred in Ealing and has family here, has just completed painting three murals on the walls of the Oak Tree ward lounge as part of the Nightingale Project.

This local Ealing charity aims to brighten up NHS wards with art to help make them more comfortable and inviting places.

They say: '' Some NHS building are drab, even depressing places; our work is based on the idea that there is no reason for potentially stressful conversations about your health to take place in rooms that are stark and institutional. Why not turn wards and consulting rooms into welcoming, healing places?''

The project raises funds by selling prints by artists such as Quentin Blake, who is also a patron of the charity. 

More of Daniel's work can be viewed on his website or for sale at the All Originals shop in Ealing Green.
