Eternal pop princess Britney Spears is taking her artistry in a creative new direction -- finger painting.

Well, a video posted to her Instagram feed reveals she actually used a paintbrush, but you'd never know that at first glance. 

Set to Mozart's familiar tune, "Turkish March," the camera shows a scantily clad Spears whimsically slapping paint to canvas before it pans around to reveal her masterpiece.

While painting may not be her strong suit, the floral artwork sold for $10,000 at the Vegas Cares Auction to benefit victims of last month's Las Vegas shooting, which killed 58 people and injured more than 500. 

"I'm so proud to call Vegas my second home and I'm pleased to participate in this Vegas Cares show," Spears said in a video message during the concert. "The flowers in my painting represent a new beginning, and it's in that spirit that we move forward. All the proceeds from the winning bid go to Vegas Cares Memorial Fund. I appreciate your kindness and your generosity -- I love you, Vegas."

Entertainment reporter Robin Leach served as auctioneer for the event and ended up dropping all that cash himself for Spears' painting, WJLA reports.
