Andrew Coates has donated an original abstract oil painting, called Light Works China Trip 2015, to the Seaton and District Branch of the RNLI.

Wendy Cummins, secretary of the branch, thanked Andrew for his support and said the group was inviting bids starting from £400.

The painting can be viewed at Marine House Gallery.

The envelopes will be opened in the Dolphin Hotel at 7.30pm tomorrow night.
