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!!)

Canon has better software than Nikon, but by the time you and I are ready to update our cameras, we will need to go back to school and read all the magazines reviews all over again. Glad you had a great time in San Diego. The various coulorations and lighting on the water are terrific. Have a great weekend Kimmer.

Love this picture here. During my fishing days out at sea, these dolphins would swim right next to my boat and next to my hand....touching distance. It usually scares the heck out of me when they came unannounced, lol. I'm glad you got this picture. And if I could, I would do it the same way you did to capture its beauty. Excellent.... Aloha

Very nice close-up. I met dolphins once in my life and it was a unforgettable moment. I was on a very little boat and about 20 dolphins come around us and play several minutes. I was young and we don't have any camera !! I hope your daughter will remember this time, it helps when life becomes hard. You just have to think about such animals and everything goes better. PS Your gallery is full of wonderfull pictures. Your work is very artistic.
