Before the Bloom II | Original Abstract Botanical Painting | 12 × 16

Before the Bloom II continues the visual journey begun in its companion piece, exploring the expressive layers, textures, and color that exist before nature reveals its blossoms. Created on 12 × 16 museum-quality archival paper, this original mixed media painting combines translucent washes, handwritten script, botanical elements, and delicate metallic gold accents to create a contemporary abstract composition rich with atmosphere.

Part of Margie Montante's Before the Bloom series, this artwork celebrates the quiet beauty found in nature's earliest moments. Soft color transitions and expressive mark-making encourage viewers to slow down, discover hidden details, and experience the painting in their own personal way.

Sold unframed. This original painting is created on museum-quality archival paper and is intended for framing. Collectors may choose traditional mat framing for a timeless presentation or contemporary floating glass framing to beautifully showcase the artwork.
