New Abstraction: A Musical Piece?

By Abstractartbylt @artbylt

I started taking piano lessons recently, and I think my new musical awareness shows through in this recent abstract drawing.  See if you agree.

I began with calligraphy pens, creating the sweeping wave-like lines first in blues, greens and magenta.  Then I drew finer lines with a Koh-i-noor fine point pen in black and red.  The horizontal lines and small circles suggest the lines of musical notation.  The opposing shapes and colors suggest a dance.

What do you think?
