My Philosophy: the Search for Sufficiency
I have come to this thought: All of life is an either incognizant or cognizant state of searching to find and or maintain sufficiency. - David Dorrell, 2010 Sufficiency is not contentment (although it may be), it is not happiness (although it may be), it may be the search for the strength to get through the day, the night, or a death (even your own). Life is the search for sufficiency.

Working on some new paintings
I've been working lately on a new series of snow scene landscapes. These are a gradual approach to bring color in to play with psychological design of the drawing. I hope to place a few photos of the work on the site soon.

Set designs for Anything Goes
I've been busy designing sets for Anything Goes . It takes place on a cruise ship.

HDR photos, sort of.
I've been searching for other high contrast photos and noticed that HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos produce a similar effect to my manipulated digital photos. I'm planning to produce some 11x17 posters of the photos and may put some up for sale soon.

Another new manipulated photo on my site
I've placed another photo up on my site. I'm really getting into doing these. It takes me hours sometimes to achieve the effects you see in the finished artworks.
