The well-known artist, Ben Maile, who has been selected as one of Britain's top ten artists by the Fine Art Guilds for the past three years, has painted a new painting of the St Ives lifeboat at sea. An edition limited to 600 of signed artist's proofs will be sold by Solomon and Whitehead, Art Publishers, of 5 Ave Maria Lane, London, EC4, for £100 each, the proceeds to be donated to the RNLI. From the sale of these and of the original picture it is hoped to provide funds for the provision of a new lifeboat.

In such a way can art become reality..
