'A Piece of Me, oil by RK Schlueter

Oil on 12 x14" canvas.
Cats have dominated my oil paintings and mixed media artwork for fifteen years. This year marks a hight point in my cat painting career. This painting was recently sold at the HumCats event in August. The event was so successful that we have to do it again next year. Eighty pieces of cat art sold during a one week period. The libations bar occupied by Humboldt Spay and Neuter Network, netted $500. With 20% of artwork sales going to Hum Spay and 80% of the take going to artists, we succeeded in raising funds for kitties without diminishing the value of artists work. I'm stoked. Thanks for all who participated in whatever capacity, we needed each and everyone of you!
