Vattenspeglar

It had been a while since we visited Millesgården.
For the vernissage of this exhibition, the gallery hall was overcrowded.
Works of some prestigious names (Liljefors...) hang on the walls, but unfortunately the quality of these water reflections was very unequal.
We had been fooled.
Where were they, these water mirrors? In the remote fountain of this landscape? Half painted in the harbour of this or that one?
I guess we are too picky, but when we go to see Water paintings, we expect something more poetic and more skilled than what we experienced this time.
We hope that the next vernissage will surprise us in a more positive way.
