An old, pissed off, grey bear looking for courage and community in our world's most uncertain hour.

As staunchly Independent now as I ever was. I'm American, not Democrat or Republican.

Watch what a politician does, not what they say.

Also beware of people who claim they have a block list. Never accept a block list wholesale. Make sure you look at each account as these can be designed to hurt ordinary posters.

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!

70 years ago today Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama for refusing to give up her seat to white passenger.

A little bravery in the face of a corrupt machine and the course of history changed.

Our turn.

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!

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

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!

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!

Self Portrait in Backward Time - 1994 #Art #AbstractArt #Drawing #MixedMedia #SelfPortrait
This is a self portrait in pencil, charcoal, ink wash, marker, and pastel. It shows a figure in 3/4 view, facing away, yet turned to look at the viewer. The setting is reminiscent of ancient Greek design and ruins, with an olive branch and Greek drinking vessel superimposed over his long, black flowing robe. Thank you for looking!

If you’re in Atlanta: check on your people. Stay connected. Document what you see.

Remember ICE thrives on silence and confusion, not on an informed, loud community.

Detained in Georgia
ICE detains thousands of immigrants in Georgia. We visited Stewart Detention Center it affects the surrounding community.

What the hell is happening in Atlanta right now?
We’re hearing reports that ICE has set up checkpoints across Metro Atlanta and is detaining people.

No one should have to live in fear just driving down the street. No one should be targeted because of what they look like.

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!

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!

Serengeti - 2002 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #NotAI
This is one of my first actual paintings that closely resembled a satellite image, and to me it looks like an oasis in the desert, or perhaps a hot spring? Aqua blue is fairly consistently used, along with metallic red, gold, turquoise, and earth-tones, in a swirling mass that looks to be affected by a combination of continental drift, geological forces, and erosion! Thank you for considering these ideas with me, over a painting!

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!

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!
