#pendoodle #art
abstract artwork on white paper features a complex grid of geometric and organic patterns, mostly in blue ink with some black accents. Each section within the grid contains a different pattern, including waves, swirls, lines, dots, and checkerboards. A thick, undulating white ribbon snakes vertically across the composition, interrupting the patterns beneath. A black pen rests diagonally across the upper right corner of the paper, which lies on a light wood-textured surface.
