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!!)

Despite the "near-death experience" getting this POV, it sure made a stunning shot! I probably shouldn't say this - I like the "painted lady" too! But don't you just hate it when your horse wears roses and holds his breath until he turns blue? It's enough to make a fellow take the bus.

Just think how much more interesting it would have been if the two front legs were out of frame =). You're probably tired of hearing say that..although you really can't hear what I'm saying beacause i"m not saying anything beacause I'm typing it..What the hell did I just say????? Great pic Kim =)

a few years ago I purchased a special wood that was intended for a carrousel in Dallas but was ordered the wrong thickness. $30,000.00 all wrong. I used what I purchased to build a gate. whether or not the horse is original the craftsperson(politically correct) is an excellent tradesperson. your capture is excellent also

ok...i've started the "Kimmers Drunk Tank Fund" so we can bail you out the next time you're arrested for D&D. so don't worry Kim...just keep shooting these beautiful images, we'll take care of the court fees as well! ;-) superb image for real Kimmers!!!

It is truly a fantasy horse - with the wind-lady on her side and that long mane like golden locks of long hair. I just adore these carousel horses you are posting and what a great pov, like it is prancing. Lovely photo. :o) CC
