Belladonna Original Watercolor

Against a deep black background, a ghostly white bat emerges its body pierced with the poisonous beauty of deadly nightshade. Belladonna (Atropa bella-donna) carries an ancient reputation for both danger and enchantment, its berries and flowers are a flutter with bluish hued moths. Lauren Marx brings together the nocturnal, the poisonous, and the ephemeral in this haunting composition. It's a small ecosystem suspended somewhere between natural history and folklore. The flight of a nocturnal creature among the delicate belladonna create a world that feels both beautiful and quietly ominous.
