Portishead artist Tracie Fry has teamed up with Tonic Hair and Beauty House to raise funds for charity.
A painting of two boats on a beach is on display in the window of the Combe Road salon with silent bids invited.
The painting will go to the highest bidder and the new owner will then be asked to decide how the painting is completed.
Tracie said: “I wanted to do something to support Breast Cancer Research and, as an artist, auctioning a painting seemed the natural thing to do. However, I wanted it to be special, so the highest bidder will be asked to name the boats. Maybe in someone’s memory, to celebrate children or family or to recognise a business venture.
