landscape acrylic painting
Description:
A landscape acrylic painting with a detached wooden frame that was painted by Teresa (nee Lokken) Summerskill and it was donated by Laura Burden. The painting depicts a meadow landscape (flowers, hills, pine trees) with mountains at the top and a river below the hills (having gray, green, yellow, brown, blue, red, purple, and white tinges). Teresa (Geraldine) (nee Lokken) Summerskill's parents were Jake Lokken and Vivian Lokken (who emigrated from Norway in 1930). She was born on November 11, 1924, and died on July 1, 2018. She married (Albert) Bert Summerskill and they built a house in Squamish during the 1930s and lived there all their lives. Beforehand, they raised their twins; Gail and Donald (Donny), in Pemberton for 4 years then moved and settled permanently in Squamish, where they welcomed their second son, Vern. Teresa was widely known for her "folk art" paintings, especially on saws, and was famed locally. Teresa had a passion for Norwegian history and was an active member for many years of the Sons of Norway, the Squamish Chapter Odin No. 95, and was also extensively involved in the Norwegian sector of the International Festival during the 1970s and 1980s. Another passion Teresa loved was music, as she played the accordion, piano, and the mouth harp. She also did all the maintenance work on her house after Bert's death, and participated in the Better Homes and Gardens with her rosebushes and her garden was famed as well. Laura Burden was her daughter-in-law and married Vern Summerskill. Vern had two sons named Brendan and Brody from a prior marriage, and Laura and Vern had a daughter, named Kelda Summerskill.

folk art painting
Description:
An acrylic folk art painting with a metal silver frame painted in 1978 by Teresa Summerskill and it was donated by Laura Burden. On the back of the frame reads "Artist's Canvas Board - Winsor and Newton", implying that was where the canvas was manufactured from. The floral patterning of the painting is represented as "rosemaling", or also known as "rose painting/decorative painting", in which it is from Norwegian origin and is a mix between Dutch painting and traditional folk art. It was named "rosemaling/rose painting/decorative painting" since during the 17th to 18th century, various artists painted roses and other types of flowers. The three main styles of this specific folk art are called Telemark, Hallingdal, and Rogaland, named after the regions of where they were formed. The rosemaling pattern of this particular painting would be Telemark rosemaling. Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. It is characterized by a naïve style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed. Folk art mainly expresses cultural identity, such as sharing community values, by using various materials of wood, clay, metal, paper, and other resources. It reflects traditional art forms of diverse community groups of ethnic, tribal, religious, occupational, geographical, age- or gender-based, who identify with each other and society at large.

painted two man crosscut saw blade
Description:
A two man crosscut saw blade that was hand painted upside down by Teresa Summerskill and it was donated by Laura Burden. The painted saw blade depicts seven logging men with some either using two man saws on various logs and others helping out, while another is chopping down a tree with an axe (far right). The colours of the illustration have blues, greens, browns, tan, apricot, white, grays, and orange tinges. The type of two man crosscut saw would be a lance tooth, due to the patterning and shape of the teeth on the blade (pointed ends). On the other side of the saw blade reads "Simonds - Canada Saw Co. LTD. - Montreal - Toronto - Vancouver", the company name that manufactured the saw blade. The company was first found in January 1906 after The Simonds Mfg. Co. bought another company of The Canada Saw Co. located in Montreal, Quebec, and was renamed The Simonds Canada Saw Co. For donor biography see description for 021.10.01.
