When in 2007 I stayed with Renée in her old Catalan vintner's house for 3 months she suggested that I can choose the format of a painting she would do for me... this is, or better, was it as, I was totally disappointed when I received it several months later. She had overpainted it and, it looked totally different. The above original spread such a lot of spring and joy, and the new one does not have it. I got accustomed to the new painting, but it took quite some time.
