Steve Freeston, Estates Team Leader, puts the finishing touches to the artwork with Arts Coordinator, Ruth Charity.
The paintings are hung at the Oxford Eye Hospital| so patients can enjoy the art as they wait.
Artist Nicky Hirst transformed waiting room areas by wallpapering three of the walls with images of skies taken from paintings in the Ashmolean. Reproductions of the paintings and explanations are also displayed to explain where the wallpaper images have come from.
Ruth Charity, Arts Coordinator for the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals said: "All hospital arts projects are funded by our charitable donors who give money specifically for hospital-based art to improve patients' environment. We are very grateful for the generosity of our donors and the Ashmolean Museum who waived their reproduction fee to make this transformation possible."
The paintings used are The White Cloud by Samuel Palmer, Gravel Pit on Shotover Hill, near Oxford by William Turner of Oxford and Summer Sunset attributed to John Constable.
