{The second day at the WordCamp NYC Conference this year, which was truly exciting and much fun}

Today is the second anniversary of my blog and what could more fitting than to celebrate in the month of November. A time in which we dedicate to removing ourselves from busy schedules and gathering together for no other reason than being grateful and thankful for all we have received. I am amazed by the number of friends made through comments and emails, and truly appreciate your support over the last few years. I am looking forward to another year of exploration and experimentation with photography, art, cooking and fashion just to name a few of my passions.

To everyone who enjoys making everyday a matter of great taste, thank you for experiencing Stylish Heath.

For me a Rococo style landscape by Canaletto is more representative of Venice than any other medium. His paintings of this aquatic city are best known for its many canals {canales} that serve as streets, the elegant residences known as Palazzo’s all linked by bridges that dot the waterways. I have two reproductions that sit on the shelves of my work space at home; The Grand Canal and La Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute {1730} and the second is the infamous Piazza San Marco painted in 1735 from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
As the chief means of transport these colorfully decorated gondolas were the focus of our on the spot reporters, who have taken a few photos of this picturesque city that resemble the artwork of Canaletto before heading to Greece.
