These original pastel paintings by Janet L. Haynes - originated from witnessing the aftermath caused by the Bastrop, Texas wildfires of 2011.
These paintings are the interpretation of artist J. L. Haynes of the remnants of the once proud pine trees destroyed by the unrelenting wildfires and the lingering hope of the rebirth of the trees.
Through this series of original pastel paintings, explore the mysteries of the mind of Janet L. Haynes released by the artist's interpretation of the 2011 fires of Bastrop County Texas.
I was inspired to create this series after driving through the remnants of the devastating wildfire of 2011 near Bastrop, Texas. The once proud trees stood as sentinels with hidden stories of times past and a troubled future.
