Romantic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog painting bathed in Caravaggio light

About the Item

This dog painting is of a regal tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by romantic realist Faith Cameron Semmes. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is bathed in "Caravaggio light" with light and shadows creating deep and dark shadows, as well as intense lights. Faith Cameron Semmes' romantic realism dog paintings have been described as “spiritual”. She often traveled to Italy and was influenced by Caravaggio. Faith Cameron Semmes majored in Visual Arts. After college, her love of animals and long interest in Equestrian sports inspired a foray into animal sciences. During this time she worked as a veterinary surgical nurse in both small animal and equine practices. Ms Semmes then began a 15 year career as a commercial artist after which she moved onto portraiture obtaining commissions in Miami and Palm Beach. Her clients included collectors across the country and abroad. Dan and Dean Caten, the fashion designers of Dsquared2 in Italy, are among her famous collectors of her dog portraiture.
