Sorry, i'm tired to repeat the same thing over and over, so this will be the last time.
If you're storing Rectangle objects in your model, and then during the painting of the view you're passing the same exact Rectangles, then you're creating coupling between the model and the view. The Rectangle object doesn't draw itself - you pass it to the draw* methods of Graphics which draws it. That is indeed state, but for that specific view. Not only that, but just calling setLocation on your rectangle doesn't magically redraw it on the screen in the new location (like, say, changing a node in the default implementation of tree would). And if your renderers hold colors in them, then it's not the best renderer implementation. You get the model object in the get*Renderer, and you should set the text, icon and colors according to that model object. After the renderer has been rubber-stamped, it should be treated as "gone" (even though you'll return the same exact object for the next cell / row).
