"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?
