Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)
 Here is the link to an older webpage of mine ( need to seriously get it updated )... ! http://www.kimarie.xoom-arts.com

Hey Kimmers, great to have your back!!..sounds like the vacation was a blast...sorry to hear about the cam..bummers! Makes me a little sick to hear that..sometimes even tho- it's an inatimate object, we become so attached to it it's a greivable loss. But all good things will come of this even tho- it's hard to fathom now. Super shot of your little girl...love the beach and spend a lot of time there...Aloha~

Brilliant photo! The sandcastles have a great texture. Your daughter in perfect concentration. I'm not sure about the colour of the water but I love the rest of this shot. Sorry about your camera. Mine broke this week too.

This is so much more than just "daughter on the beach" .. very well done, i'm sure she'll show this one to her own children one day, being proud of her mom's talent! Sad to hear about your cam!

Welcome back kimmer. :) Good to see you had a good time with the kids. Sorry to hear you lost your new camera. :( I know someone deep sea fishing that just losted one too. Hey if you got the camera from Ritz Camera or another place that has the same type of store Warranty then you can take it back to them even it you ran over it with a truck and they will replace it. Ritz Camera is under other names too http://www.ritzcamera.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/MapQuestView?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&link=find_rtz so the Warranty may be the same.

Beautifulk photograph with your daughter building the sand castle and especially having the water in the background. Sorry to hear about the loss of the camera. Belive it or not, Once I dropped my camera accidently into the Pacific Ocean as it came of the neck as I had bent over to pick somethings up. Well, in those days, thrity-five years ago, cameras were manual and had little elecronics other than the meter. Well, it still works to this day. It was a Canon FTb and it was also my first real 35mm camera. Hope things work out for you. Best of luck.
