Daily Doses of Art for February 2026
Below is a running list of some of my Daily Doses of Art for February 2026.
This is a lovely daily practice (when I do it!) that helps me review (or anticipate) my day and choose one art encounter to share. I usually have multiple art encounters each day, but it’s simpler to only share one.
February 1: The latest issue of Image journal, for the win. So much good stuff. More of my thoughts here.
February 2: I’m having cold symptoms so my attention span is very short. But of course I can scroll for hours on social media. I did take some time to look at my photos of a painting I saw last week. More details here.
February 3: Thank God for music. Lately, I’ve been listening to Billie Holiday.
February 4: I read several pages/entries of On Loneliness: How to overcome isolation and enjoy solitude (Photography series, 3) from The School of Life. Highly recommend.
February 5: I’m reading a digital ARC of K.J. Ramsey’s new book The Place Between Our Pains and it’s really good. And it’s available for pre-order.
February 6: More Billie Holiday. More Joan Mitchell. More feeling ick.
February 7: I am feeling a bit better today and have been re-reading A Writer’s Diary by Virginia Woolf. Also, today’s Daily Poem from The Paris Review is worth a read— “Portfolio” by Wahn Yoom.
February 8: I might encounter more art today, but so far I have only re-read the first sentence of Virginia Woolf’s On Being Ill, and it counts. Trust me. I may just keep returning to these words throughout the day when I need a boost of not-me.
February 9: While looking for music to pair with this Instagram reel about how white American Evangelicalism broke me almost 20 years ago, I learned about Pierre Boulez, and now I’m listening to his music.
