Last Chance to Visit the NGA

We are eight months into this pandemic and life continues to become more unnerving each day. As an educator visiting art galleries has become an important diversion for those of us who must have a weekly dose of paintings, sculptures, and music to stay focused and centered.

I couldn’t believe an email I received this afternoon indicating the National Gallery of Art will be closing [again] to the public on Saturday, November 21 out of caution and the response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the region, which I totally understand and agree with wholeheartedly.

I’m so looking forward to 2021 with hopes the new year will bring the opportunity to start anew. Luckily, a few of us were able to visit the National Gallery in October, and took photos to peruse until we can once again return.

Number Eight

NOVEMBER 10, 2020

Memory photos from London, Beijing, and Istanbul

Today marks the 8th anniversary of my blog and I consider November 10th to be one of my favorite days of the year. This blog encapsulates everything I love, and lately memories have been popping up on my phone from a trip to Cabos San Lucas summer before last.

It was a time of absolute luxury, and when viewing these photos it’s incredible to see how far removed we are from dealing with a pandemic. But, am thrilled to see on the news this evening that a possible vaccine may be forthcoming with a 90% efficacy rate to control this virus!!!

In the Yayoi Kusama exhibit in LACMA in Los Angeles and in front of the Austin Texas sign.

When I started this blog there were so many of you who were helpful and guiding to a new member at WordPress. It always helps to keep perspective on how things have changed over the years so; here are a few “memory photos” of travels for Stylish Heath over the years!!!!

Thank you for your support – I’m so appreciative of the community this space has created!!!
