Daylilies and Drizzle

On a cloudy, drizzling day in late June, orange daylilies bloom by the side of a rural road, adding a spark of color in place of a hidden sun.

Waterrock Knob - Sunset Stormscape

About a decade ago, my brother and I went on a roadtrip through the Smoky Mountains. We saw the sunset amid storms near the top of Waterrock Knob. While I painted this scene once before soon after the trip, I decided to approach it again, using what I've learned since then. The end result better captures the infinite hills and rolling, illuminated clouds, though nothing compares to actually having been there.

Getting out of Town

The Independence Day holiday approaches, and what better time to get out of town and go for a long drive through farmland with a setting summer sun?

Evening Lakeside Storms

Low evening sunlight stretches across a vast lake, catching the shores and tree tops in a warm glow. Miles away, storm clouds are illuminated in the waning light of day.

Lazy River Driftwood

A lazy, clear spring river meanders along under the shade of tangled trees. Here and there, driftwood lies in the water, the only reminder of a harsh winter.

Defiant Spring

Along a muddy forest path, the cherry trees bloom under a cold, cloudy sky. Though winter seems unwilling to give up its grasp, spring flowers bloom in defiance of the gloom.

A new home for my Megaman games

One of my other hobbies has been creating video games, in particular a couple of Megaman fan games. These were created in Gamemaker several years back, run on Windows, and have been updated over the years. They were originally stored on Yoyo Games (the creators of Gamemaker), but they got rid of their "sandbox" area for developers late last year as they switched to a different business model which is... less conducive to hobbyist game developers.

I then decided to put the games up on Google Drive, where they still exist, but I also recently found another website that freely hosts indie games and hobbyist games - gamejolt.com

A link is provided below.

If you search on "Megaman," you'll find the latest version of both games ("Megaman: Dr. Wily Wanders Off" and "Megaman: Dark Legacy") You probably have to create an account with gamejolt to download the games (fully self-contained executable files under 5 megs in size.)

Megaman: Dr. Wily Wanders Off

Megaman: Dark Legacy

Note that Megaman and all associated IP is the rights of Capcom. These are fan games and not to be sold. Enjoy!
