Vizcaya, Florida

The Miami residence of the late James Deering, of International Harvester Co., where he spent his winters, until his death in 1925. Now, it is a museum of European decorative arts. This is the yacht landing behind the villa with Biscayne Bay in the background. So beautiful, on 5-17-91, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh held a garden party there, and President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II met there to address the world from the Mount, on 9-10-87.  It's a shame that binary doesn't do justice to the beautiful transparency of watercolors.  Florida has stunning blue waters, and in the 'real-thing', the twenty layers of wash  that I laid, truly depicts this tropical quality.
