After finishing her artwork, Britney then put the piece, which features three pink flowers and two blue flowers, up for sale at Vegas Cares benefit concert, which was held to raise money for Las Vegas shooting memorial. In a video message during the concert, Britney stated that the painting represented a new beginning.

"I'm so proud to call Vegas my second home and I'm pleased to participate in this Vegas Cares show," she said. "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 Care Memorial Fund. I appreciate your kindness and your generosity - I love you, Vegas."

The painting was eventually sold to entertainment reporter Robin Leach, who is known for hosting "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", for $10,000. Celebrating his win, Robin took a picture with the artwork. The picture later was shared on Instagram by Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes. He captioned it, "It's #RobinLeach, who just auctioned this @britneyspears piece to... himself! Yes! Great $10K moment."
