And So It Begins Original Watercolor

A powerful American Bison moves through a swirling grasses, its massive form surrounded by the restless movement of two European Starlings. Their flight adds a quiet sense of motion and scale to the composition. Rendered entirely in pen and ink, this original illustration balances intricate linework with the bold presence of the bison. The sweeping grasses create an almost dreamlike environment around the animal, suggesting both the wildness of the landscape and the interconnectedness of the creatures within it. Lauren Marx’s work often explores the beauty, fragility, and mythology of the natural world. In And So It Begins, the bison becomes something more than a portrait of an animal, but a symbol of endurance, wildness, and the ancient relationship between creatures.
