“This Time Will Be Different*: A 365 Painting Project”<\/em><\/a>\u00a0…\u00a0 and it was, because she just finished her last painting! This project is the work of American artist\u00a0Megan Foldenauer.<\/a>\u00a0I’ve written about her candy paintings<\/a> before, but I always love a good art challenge and, boy oh boy, she nailed this one. Each day of the week had a theme (a trick that kept her engaged and motivated)<\/em>. The pieces above are just a few of my favorites taken from “Junk in Your Trunk Tuesdays”<\/em>, because seashells, mixed tapes, friendship pins and tiny pink Barbie shoes are my kind o’ junk! Here are Megan’s words about this series:<\/p>\n

“In the past, I’d just wing my 365 projects and rapidly run out of ideas. Devising a new object every day becomes exhausting fast, leading to dread, and that doesn’t jibe with happy art-making. This time I’m out-smarting myself with several pre-emptive moves – a one-hour time limit per day for painting creation, creating the paintings a day in advance (so I’m not posting them the day-of at 11:59pm), a stockpile of 400 sheets of paper already “torn down” to the perfect uniform size, [themes for each day of the week], and a veritable cornucopia of references that I amassed before the project started.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very clever, beautifully painted, and ridiculously fun! Check out the other days of the week – including “Foodie Fridays”<\/em> and “Taxidermy Thursdays”<\/em> – on Megan’s site<\/a>. ps. She will be having a ONE NIGHT SHOW… TONIGHT! Yep. All 365 pieces will be on display from 5-11pm, and you should go if you are anywhere near 108 Pearl Street,\u00a0<\/strong>Ypsilanti, Michigan (aka Pearl Street Studios).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
