It was amazing how quickly I got into the fun of just playing on the piece with a black pen. Then I grabbed a black brush pen and did some tweaking. Suddenly, I didn't know what to do next. I stopped there and just looked at it for a while.
I liked it like that but I wasn' thrilled with it. Then after an "overnight reprieve," I decided to try cropping out some of the outer edges. Ah, there it is! Now it makes me happy. I put it in small frame with a mat around it. Here is the final result, although after this photo, I did remember to sign it before I finalized the framing.
In this case, I think that cropping away the "extra" left the essential part, the essence, of the piece. It is abstract but it certainly doesn't feel "non-representational" - I just don't know exactly what it is.
Perhaps it is an angel on a precipice weeping into its wing.

Love your creation, so happy and peaceful.
I don’t know it it’s something flying or Roman-type columns undulating in an earthquake. Your angel interpretation tells more of a story. Lots to cry about on our planet these days. So lovely, Gene, awesome creating!
Interesting that you were drawn to doodling at the exact time that I was. I wonder if this will become another rabbit hole for you. Your results are fantastic. I love the combination of free form water colour and doodling.
Or a headless gargoyle with wings - LOL - ;))
Good work!
I see the angel weeping!
It made me think of an eagle about to take flight, or perhaps the figurehead of a ship. Whatever, I like it!
