Chocolate Heart - A New Original ACEO Oil Painting by George De Chiara

Is it too soon for Valentine hearts? I hope not, because as soon as my 3 year daughter found out I had chocolate in the studio, she quickly made it a point to come visit me as much as possible. On each visit, she would "sneak" another chocolate heart out of the studio and run off to eat it. Over the course of the last few days, she's gone through my whole supply of them! Well...that's not exactly they truth. She did have some help with them, but I'm not naming any names on who helped her.

 This painting is available through the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, if you're interested in getting it for yourself or as a wonderful one-of- a-kind Valentine gift for that someone special. They do an amazing job framing these into a 5x7 inch frame and they look great. Contact Pam at (214) 348-7350 for further details.

Recently my wife and I went shopping at our local grocery store. On the way in, she asks if I've ever noticed that the floral section has a little area where they sell the older flowers at a heavy discount. What?!? I had no idea that existed until that moment. Since then, every time I go into the store I make it a point to pass by this section and take a look...just in case, you know. Read more on my blog here.

 A friend of ours was kind enough to invite us out the her parent's ranch for the day last spring. I had hoped it would be a day of painting, but brought my camera along just in case. We also brought our daughters  who were not quite 1 and a little over 2 along with us. While that seemed like a good idea, it did make painting just about impossible. Good thing I had my camera with me. I was able to...Read more on my blog here.

A few weeks before my wife and I met, she rescued a thin, undernourished and unhealthy Chihuahua that had wandered into her friend's yard. She figured since he was such a small animal, he needed a large name, so she promptly named him El Cid Guillermo Wee Willie Winkie, but we just call him Winky for short. He get's that part of his name for his ability to wink at you rather than blink. We still have him and...Read more on my blog here.

At our zoo, one of the first groups of animals you come to are the flamingos. You can smell them from the moment you enter the front gate. If you've ever been around a large flock of these birds, you know the distinct and powerful smell I'm referring to.  One the day I took the reference photo from this painting, most of the flamingos where busy building...Read more on my blog here.

This is my cat, Cosmo. She showed up at my door on my birthday seven years ago on a cold, wet night. I'm not sure how she came to me, since I lived on the second floor of an apartment building that didn't allow pets at that time, but there she was. I thought I heard a cat crying outside so I opened the door to look and in she ran. She's pretty much made herself at home ever since. Read more on my blog here.
