Is it or isn't it? Debating the provenance of a Vermeer painting with Pippa today. I'd been collating all the known Vermeers on a Pinterest page, but Pippa had reservations about one or two of them.

It has been suggested that Vermeer may have used a camera obscura for some of his work and that his images were pioneering photographic art.

Wet out there today, what greens there were. A Goldfinch turned up on the feeder so maybe the teasels I collected the other day worked.
