Britney Spears is not just a music artist, it seems. She’s also a painter.
The ‘Womanizer’ singer donated a watercolour she painted to an auction which sold for $10,000.
Now that money is to be donated to help victims of the Las Vegas music festival massacre in October.

Spears, 35, who found worldwide fame in the late 1990s with ‘Baby One More Time‘ and ‘Oops, I Did It Again’, posted on Instagram last month a short clip of her painting the artwork of some bright flowers.
She was filmed in a lush outdoor setting as Mozart’s ‘Turkish March’ played.
“Sometimes you just gotta play!!!!!!” she wrote on Instagram, ending the caption with a whole host of emojis.
The painting was donated to the Vegas Cares benefit auction held in the city last weekend.
It was bought for a sizable $10,000 by Robin Leach, perhaps best known for his role as host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Stephen Paddock, 64, shot dead 58 people and injured more than 500 when he opened fire with an array of semi-automatic weapons on country music fans attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.
Paddock targeted the crowds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel.
It was the deadliest mass shooting by an individual ever the US.
