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!!)

A picture with a lot of emotions ! Nice silhouette of your baby against the wonderful sky ! I wish you a nice week, Kimmers ! Hugs :~)

So very amazing in emotion and what a sensational capture! The Heavens certainly appear to be quite close to her as she conveys her sentiments. That is the most sensational sunset and atmosphere I have seen in quite awhile, and your words really give this image meaning and personality all of its' own. The beach at sunset is like Heaven to me and this beckons me to go to be at peace with myself. Superb image!

Kim. I always enjoy commenting on your work. You always have a great pic, usually very creative style or POV and almost always a wonderful story or commentary to go with it. This one is touching of your daughters love for her grandpa. You really captured the emotion of the moment with this amazing sunset and your daughter silhouetted in the foregrd..Super job once again...
romanceworks
This is just so beautiful and touching and makes a wonderful companion photo with the other one of your daughter. Both show such great emotion but in a different way. Love the silhousette and sky and what a sweet sweet story. V. :o) CC

It's terrible that I've gotten so far behind in comments that I've neglected galleries entirely, so first, I offer you my apologies....I have missed so much. Secondly, this amazingly emotive shot brought tears to my eyes as well. This, coupled with your words about the event, tug at the heartstrings and make us all take pause to remember what is important. It is simply beautiful...and this is what an artist like yourself does.....captures the private moments of life, love, loss and chooses to share them, making us all realize how connected we really are. It is a wonderful piece. Thank-you once again for sharing it. V
