Hermine Overbeck-Rohte (1869-1937) was an Impressionistic painter, and the wife of artist Fritz Overbeck. As a schoolgirl she yearned to become an artist, but trained as a nurse due to family objections. However, she later studied with landscape painter Paul Koken and others, becoming a member of an artists' colony in Worpswede, in northwestern Germany near Bremen. After her husband's death in 1909, she strove to preserve his oeuvré, and continued to paint. This evocative Trocknende Wäsche ("Drying Laundry") dates from 1896.

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Danke, Gerda. – Sca (talk) 01:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

October thanks

story · music · places

Thank you for your appreciation! My story is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, my (maternal) grandfather -- who was of Swiss-German descent -- made his own dill pickles. His entire back yard was a cucumber patch. -- Sca (talk) 13:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Was he in the club?? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

(ec) Interesting. My (maternal) grandparents - where I spent most summer holidays from age 5 to 10 - had a large property (former barracks): the front garden was dominated by a broad band of dahlias and other flowers, framing rows of cucumbers and dill (!), lettuce, herbs, radishes, carrots ..., behind the house fruit trees with strawberries and potatoes underneath, and to the side berries, asparagus and a fenced area for chicken and a goat. Paradise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:59, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

You said it! Martinevans123 (talk) 14:04, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
