Art Every Day--Sharing the Spotlight on Day 10

Since the Canadian was kind enough to run out and shoot the purple berries for me yesterday, I think I'd like to share some of his art this morning.
I'll share more of mine and my girl's work later today.

Those of you have visited this blog before might be familiar with a friend's calendar project that we were helping out with.
Marion was having 12 artists paint 12 pregnant bellies, which were then shot by 12 photographers, all for a March of Dimes Fundraiser.
Most of this took place at the Fringe Collective Artistic Studios; one of the bellies was painted by yours truly, and at least a couple of mamas were photographed by Tim.

This particular mama had a great henna tattoo on her belly---a glorious tree of life. In preparing her photo for the calendar project, Tim has been playing around with it, creating all sorts of beautiful art. He decided that it was starting to look like a planet, and he started thinking along the lines of creation, earth mother, mother earth and on and on, until we were both knee deep in this piece.

Without further ado---the art of Mr. Timothy Schildknecht of the Fringe Collective---

Marion's March of Dimes Calendar Project

My friend Marion Mullinax is coordinating what promises to be an amazing project!
She's coordinating 12 expectant mamas with 12 local artists, and having their bellies photographed by 12 local photographers.
She's putting all the painted bellies together into a calendar, available later this year, as a fundraiser for the March of Dimes.

Of course Moon Mama participated, painting her Moon Mama logo on a deliciously blossoming mama's belly!
And my husband Tim (aka the Canadian), a photographer himself, is participating as well---
he's taken some of the shots, and he's opened up his Athens studio, Visual Artistry and Magic, for all the action
