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!

Glen Burnie Whiteout

I generally don't paint urban scenes since they are tricky in matters of perspective, detail, and scale, but this image, inspired by yesterday's weather, begged to be painted. Wind-blow snow roars through the center of downtown Glen Burnie, MD on a cold February night, obscuring everything for the few drivers on the roads.

Fiery Winter Sunset

A blazing winter sunset sweeps across a snowy field and through a few small groves of trees, adding a warm glow to a frozen scene.

Cliffside snowfall

Somewhere in the mountains, morning light falls on fresh snow amid the rocky cliffs and rugged pines. Frozen mist lies in the valley, as the warm sun bathes the distance peaks.

Early November Snow

Winter has come early to parts of the nation, sometimes even before the leaves have fully fallen. Here, in the forest, we walk amid the last of the fall color as the first snowfall coats the ground and trees.
