Uitersten, sommige zijn in mijn optiek ronduit lelijk en lijken niet uit de penseel te komen van de zelfde dame die ook de prachtige schilderde. Smaken zullen ongetwijfeld verschillen. Maar ja, zit in het realisme niet het woord realiteit. Ik leg me er dus gewoon bij neer, dat ik soms in verwarring raak van haar, geschilderde uitersten.
Vriendelijke groeten, Marja
