Zest - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
No matter how ugly we Humans behave, nature preserves her beauty. Our effect is local, and temporary. Its effect is universal, and woven into the fabric of reality. At times, when we Humans behave in an "unnatural" or "unbalanced" way, it may seem as if we're re-weaving that fabric, but we aren't. We can't even scratch the surface. ...But as far as this image goes, it's a testament to the complexity, beauty, and striking color of nature, in all of its lushness, in lime green, orange, bronze, and purple tones. Thank you for your interest in nature, and my work!

Waterways - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
It's not unusual for artwork by me (or "of" me) to resemble an aerial photograph or satellite image, but this one in particular is uncanny to me. It looks very much like fields interrupted by the flow of water, and distorted in ways that only nature can, with shallows, streams, and lakes that form an elaborate network - a water system. Thank you for sightseeing with me!

Muddled - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This is the state of my life right now. I'm trying to make it look nice, at least, but it's a great big mess. This is every bit like a gesso painting with only 3 coats of pigment on it - black, earth tones, and metallic gold, in an intricate, complex pattern.

Migraine - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Alternately titled "Brain Strain", which is what likely caused the headache to begin with - but having one right now as I type this, I have to say it's fairly accurate in terms of what I'm feeling right now, in fiery alert colors, with darker red-purple areas which seem to be covered by lightning, or frayed nerve endings. Thank you for your visit to Dr. Loren's office today, where we can now focus on healing what ails us!

Leaf Script - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
If trees could "Write", this is how I imagine their handwriting would look, in fine, green detail - a story on every leaf! Thank you for reading!

Life on the Edge - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This one looks a lot like a coastline, which itself isn't surprising in my work, but this time the coastline looks alive with life and color! Quite often that is the case along coastal areas, they are more developed through tourism, shipping, etc, and in this one that activity seems to be captured! Thank you for visiting this place with me!

Morning Frost - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
It's a cold day today, much too cold to paint, but at least we have this to hold us until Spring and Summer return. In this we have frost crystals forming, in the shapes of serpentine tendrils and branching trees, in pale, silvery tones with a strong, metallic aqua background. Thank you for your interest in my artwork!

Sargasso - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This one seems to have a biological, aquatic theme, with twisting organic sinews, tendrils, roots, and branches reaching, in a complex, tangled web of blues, greens, and browns. Thank you for your interest in my artwork!

Warmth - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone, so until we have blazing hot temps again, we can only dream of a warm world, at least in the Northern hemisphere! This dream of heat is mostly metallic red, orange, and gold on white gesso, with a hint of an Earth tone base! The details are feathery and delicate, while the major areas resemble marble, or hard stone. Thank you for your interest in my work!

Colony - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Science and nature are my main influences, so it's no surprise that I might find inspiration from something like a colonial life form, or you could lichen it to a fungi. ...humor helps sometimes when you're depressed. :( In any case, this resembles a slime mold colony, or some such, in aqua and purple, and I hope it inspires you, and that you enjoy it!

Homing Instinct - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This is a colorful, intricate one that seems to be lit with a soft, evening light. It resembles a bird's head in profile, along with lines of strange energy emanating from it. There are a lot of metallic pigments here, shining in the darkness! Thank you for looking!

Pearl Essence - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
I have been away for a while - not feeling great. But now I'm back, with something you will hopefully find visually appealing, in the form of this pearlescent and colorful swirl of metallic pigment, looking like marbleized taffy mixing together! Thank you for your interest in my artwork!

Anvil Strike - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
I can almost hear the sound of the hammer striking the anvil on this one... The hammer is at the top in gold, and the anvil is at the bottom in deep blue. It almost seems as though the strike is producing lines of kinetic energy, as it hits. The overall effect is one of dynamic activity, in blues and gold! Thank you for your interest in my artwork!

A Supported Voice - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Lots of color and detail in this one! There's pink, orange, green, yellow, metallic gold, and the usual Earth tone underlayer. It reminds me of an anatomical illustration of a voice box, as it makes vibrating sounds! Thank you for visiting my studio today!

Saxophonic Lightning - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
I'm a longtime lover of Jazz, although the saxophone is not one of my personal favorites - likely a side-effect of being a teenager in the 80's, but to me this exudes Jazzlike energy, and dynamic motion in orange, coral, and magenta tones, with the usual fractal field patterns. I hope you like it, and thank you for your interest in my work!

Feet Like Fins - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Some of you may have noticed that I like to title works after song titles... I'm guilty! This is also the name of a song by Cocteau Twins, and it resembles a coppery foot-fin splashing through green water, with lines of dynamic resistance bursting forth like the wake behind a boat. I hope that you enjoy it, and would like to thank you for visiting my studio!

Resolve - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Not sure why I titled this one this way, it's just an overall feeling I get from it, of divine resignation, and completion. It also seems as though the struggle has been long, hard, and well-earned. That's just the feeling, but the hard evidence is strong... There are firm, dynamic lines curling inward, while a background of midnight blue and coppery feather clouds line the "horizon". It's all abstract, only suggested, but that's what it produces in my imagination. What does it produce in yours, I always love to know! Thank you for your detailed report of observations in my realms!

Moss Rocket - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Judging by the appearance of this, "Moss Rocket" was the most suitable name I could think of for it. It looks to be a log or other organic structure surrounded by swamp fog, with bristly growths carpeting the outer surface, while a combustion engine seems to reside within. One can imagine it slowly gliding in the air, moving silently and monumentally through the fog. Thank you for being here to witness this weirdness with me!

Floodplain - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Here's another "satellite image" seen from space, showing a large-scale operation that I utilize on a small scale in my paintings - sediment deposition. My work attempts to echo this process in order to repeat some of the same beautiful results found in nature. I hope I have succeeded for you, and thank you for your consideration in any case!

Curtain - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This one looks very much like some sort of white, membranous curtain, with a bright light shining through from behind. This light looks to be subdued morning or evening sun, and there are hints of green plant life, etc. through the veil. Thank you for visiting my studio today!

Under the Surface - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
There's a definite dividing line at the top of this, a curving, aquatic line that evokes waves on water, which separates the plainer gradient at the top, with its subtle, bronzey rainbow hues from the complex, colorful structures to be found beneath, in pink, gold, aqua, orange, and earth tones. Thank you for your interest in my work!

Hydrodynamism - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This to me looks like a study of an object's aerodynamic properties, but in water, resulting in hydrodynamic action, and arcs of smoke designed to show the curved paths of air are replaced by waves, and ripped water. The overall effect is one of powerful natural forces, and dynamic motion! Thank you for visiting my studio today, which sometimes winds up on the beach!

Tranquil Eye - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This is a relatively simple composition, in comparison to some I've posted, but possibly gains some effectiveness, in that simplicity - it tends to highlight to fact that this resembles a person's eye, sans the pupil and iris. And as usual, it also looks like a landscape viewed from an aerial perspective. Thank you for your interest in my work!

The Memory Gong - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
Occasionally an artwork will be associated with a sound for me, and such is the case with this one - and the sound is one of a gong being struck. Maybe it's the metallic gold coloration, maybe it's the echoing, repeating "wave" patterns resembling bursts of sound, or the mildly centralized composition, but I suspect it's ALL of those things coming together to lend themselves to one single effect - one single sound. Thank you for listening with me!

Morning Tide - 2025 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
This one almost looks like a huge, sleeping eye, slowly opening with the first light of dawn, but is also looks like morning on a beach, in rainbow hues. Thank you for visiting my studio today!
