Deanna Bristow will be our May Demonstrator Deanna Sue Bristow is a native Californian who appreciates the landscapes that her state has to offer. She is particularly enamored by the beauty of the central Sierra. "I attempt to bring out the love I have for the grandeur of the Sierra; its ancient trees, glorious rock formations and life giving waters." Her style leans towards the impressionistic, because the scenes she paints are not static but of life which is continually changing. Deanna says, "True realism does not provide me the fluidity I need to express this life." Color plays an important part in these emotional paintings. Her favorite medium is watercolor as it allows her the freedom to create scenes that naturally flow.
