A Vermont woman won an Ed Sheeran painting in a raffle that raised more than £51,000 ($70,000) for a cancer charity.

The pop singer's abstract artwork, titled Splash Planet, went to Claire Faynor, who paid £20 for a raffle ticket.

The Cancer Campaign in Suffolk (CCiS) fundraiser follows a December auction that saw Sheeran's similarly splash-painted Dab 2 sell for £40,000 in a charity benefit.

Sheeran, 30, remarked in a video message for the recent raffle: "The painting is one of mine, one of the big splashy ones that you saw in the Afterglow cover."

"I painted a canvas a day for 30 days. It was really fun. It's kind of Jackson Pollocky," Sheeran said in an earlier interview.

"I bought house paint and just layered it up by flicking it. I just do my art and I love doing it. It's something that makes me happy, that no one else needs to judge."
