The inspiration behind this painting began
with my long term association with the care sector, and a desire
to depict the positive, nurturing and protective aspect associated
with care on to canvas.
By using the 'Academy of Care Practitioners' logo as a starting
point, I wanted to create a colourful and energetic, abstract
painting but with recognisable elements; particularly in the
choice of colour; strong blues, purples and golds.
The colour blue is associated with patience, loyalty and contemplation;
purple is related to selflessness, dignity and humanitarianism;
gold is experience, vitality and wisdom.
The three colours combined symbolise the key elements that
together form a positive image of care in society today.
The painting is a reflection of those attributes and to recognise
the dedication, value and importance of workers in the care
sector.
