LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Want Britney Spears on your wall? This could be your lucky day.

The pop princess is auctioning off an original 4-foot-by-5-foot signed painting of herself to benefit the Promises Foundation, a charity that works with low-income women and their children to provide behavioral health services.

The oil painting, which was illustrated by Beverly Hills artist Daniel Maltzman, pictures the star in a bikini bottom in front of an abstract, red, white and blue setting.

The auction is currently live on eBay and has already drawn several bids. It will go until just after 5 PM on Sept. 20.

The winner will also receive a letter of authenticity from Maltzman, as well as a signed ownership letter from Jamie Spears, Brit’s father and conservator.

Britney was a winner, herself, last Sunday, picking up three Moonmen — her first after 16 previous losing nominations — at the MTV Video Music Awards. She won for Video of the Year, Best Female Video and Best Pop Video for the song “Pieces of Me.”

The sweep impressed her fellow celebs, who called the wins a big comeback for Britney.

“I’m so happy for her,” Paris Hilton told Access Hollywood backstage. “She definitely deserves it.”
