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!!)

Great shot! I've got a 50 pounder myself, if we don't keep him fairly short he pants all the time. She is certainly a really cute Cocker!

At least you don't leave yours in the car and go shopping! That just makes me so mad when I see stuff like that. My husband makes me get in the car and leave cause he's afraid I'll cause a scene! LOL! I'd leave notes on their car if he'd let me that says, "How would you like to be in this car when it's 120 degrees and to dog twice that!!!" Yeah...I get passionate. I'm an animal lover!! Vote for the cutie! :)

Very nice looking dog. I used to have a dog that went every place with me. I loved him so much and he was a great dog that loved trucks. That was how I got him. Was at work and going to pickup another guy in the housing track and go to lunch when I drove my this dog and I tapped on my door as I drove by, That dog turn around and came down the road to where I stopped and jumped in my truck right away. I got out and said get out and he did. But each time I got back in the truck he would jump back in. After 4 times he would not get out. So I went over and parked my truck and we too the other guys truck. Get back after lunch and good the dog is gone by as I got up close to my truck up popped his head. I could not get the dog to leave. I looked all over to try and find out who the dog belong to and could not. One of the guys said he had a very long rope on him and he took it off but no one knew anything else. Well I was stuck with him so took him home. Was not able to have pets where I was living either. But after so many days I could not find out where the dog came from and no one reported him lost. I could not keep him at my place either but wanted to. Was able to get my folks to keep him and I started looking for a new home. After I moved that dog was with me every place I went. Was even able to make a place for him at work in the one yard we keeo fenced in to store things so he got to go with to work. I had everything all set up for him at work too. Was a great dog that loved me from the very start that I got to love. I think he ran away because he was beaten. I know when you move you arm pass him he act like you was going to hit him. He was a very smart dog that was a very good house dog too. Never had a dog where I could set out dog biscuits in a line and tell him what ones was his and what ones were mine. He would only get a dog biscuit when I said ok and would only get his and not touch mine. :) But hey I would give him my dog biscuits in the end. :) I miss him so much. Funny too because the dog always like staying at the front door. Even cooking and getting food out he never came into the kitchen but for went I put his food out and call him. BUT at night when he hear the sound of me getting a bowl and a big spoon he be there so fast because he knew by the sound of the dish I was going to get ice cream and he loved ice cream.

The dog I loved has been gone for 10 years and do not have the heart to replace him, he was a Chow named Casey and he slept by my feet from the first day we got him. He had a bad habbit which caused a neighbor to poison him, it broke my heart. She looks so happy and full of fun, great shot:):):)...V

Already saw that one in the forum!! Loved it then, love it still!! Totally adorable! :) Great shot Kim!
Leeco
How can anyone not like this? Pets are magic for the soul. I see a lot of magic here. Nice shot. PS- human food is not really the best diet for her. A treat is ok but not as a steady diet. Heck, most human food is not even good for humans, lol.
kimariehere
well we feed her good stuff healthy Mike is a health teacher so we know .. she wont eat dog food no matter what lol she knows whats good..! lol!
