"A Kiss In The Dark" Dana Cooper

7" X 7" oil on gessoed cardboard

This is my latest entry for The Flying Moleskins art project. This book belongs to Sheila Tajima, and she asked that the participants create something they love in her book. There are many things that I love, including the idea for this book, but a kiss in the dark is really special...need I say more?

    I am still floating on a cloud Dana. I'm going to go on some errands and I know I'll get some looks because I will have a huge smile on my face.

    Dana, this is wonderful. I am amazed at your rendering of the shiny foil paper and your ability to still keep it loose and painterly; BEAUTIFUL!!

    Dana, aren't you the clever romantic. You did a fabulous job, and like Sheila, I am smiling as I look at this painting.
