What's your plan? Hafspajen (talk) 12:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Plan? Donno. So far I've just been looking for wintry paintings. Some knowledgeable person could write something about how artists have depicted snow and ice, their use of blue shadows on snow, darkness, etc. How to get the viewer to 'feel' cold.... Sca (talk) 13:41, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Very chilly - but Pythagoras would have pulled out every hair from his beard by now.

[This you are going to like]     

Of course Hunters in the Snow is the quintessential winter painting. I've loved it since I first saw it reproduced in, I think, Life magazine when I was a teen. I hung a repro in one of my first apartments (& still have it). But I didn't want to go back that far style-wise in my gallery — it wouldn't fit with all the mostly 19th C. paintings there, which tend to be ... impressionist or symbolist? Sca (talk) 21:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Also remember een paar worden of Dutch, and snippets of Polish, Lithuanian & Russian. Never was in Sweden, DK or Norway, though. (Danish seems to have some cognates with German — ??)

THIS got removed, as nonsense. ''In Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia sauna-going plays a central social role. These countries boast the hottest saunas and the tradition of massaging fellow sauna-goers with leafy, wet birch bunches ('vasta' or 'vihta' in Finnish, 'viht' in Estonian, 'slota' in Latvian, 'vanta' in Lithuanian, 'веник' (venik) in Russian). The fast movements of the massage have created a common misconception that it is somewhat of a beating, however, the correct method of giving this kind of massage is to curb the hot air without actually touching the skin.'' Maybe we should post the Russian Venus there? Hafspajen (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, User:Altenmann also edited Banya (sauna), which includes Russian Venus pic plus description of веники use, but when I looked he hadn't removed the latter.

I'm not an expert on sauna practices, so I don't feel like opposing his editing of sauna, and I can't see how adding Russian Venus there would accomplish much.
 * Do you know a user from one of the other countries mentioned in sauna who'd like to challenge him?

Koller's "stand-up bar for dogs". Hafspajen (talk) 23:33, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't see a genuine relevance to the story of Rudolf Koller, artist. Sca (talk) 23:38, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, he liked animals. Dogs have trouble finding water in the cities ... they don't have fickpengar to go and buy a Cola or a cofee. So, it is animal drinkwater there - I think it is a fine gestutre. Thoughtful. Hafspajen (talk) 21:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)




 * No doubt old Rudi was a Tierfreund, but this apparently was done by a commercial entity (a hotel) 100 years after his death, so to my way of thinking it didn't have much to do with Koller the person.

Can't remember if he got TB or the flu from the great 1918 flu pandemic. His name was Conrad, or Konrad. Of course we never knew him, but I have his U.S. Army ammunition belt from WWI.
