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!!)

Your killing me with these Santa Monica beach shots!(I have special memories of Santa Monica) I grew up by Newport Beach, (lived there for a while) and living where I do, (I am sure you are really feeling sorry for me now), I don't get to much beach time. This brings back terrific memories, and am so glad that I can enjoy your lovely shots, which by the way this one is absoltley fantastic!!! I love your style, and it makes me want to take a trip to the beach! What an awesome B-Day shot for Mikan! 8-)

A Happy Birthday to Mikan !!!!! and a wonderful gift for every one.... This golden beach is a wonder ! Another magic sunset Kimmers. Santa Monica seems to be a paradise for that (and not only for the Sunset). Magic atmosphere. You've also find a so romantic gull ;o))) V

And happy non-birthday to you! You should apply a 2 degrees rotation on the left to that shot, dear! (which is a beautiful shot, by the way!)

heh, I finally found a little time to come here - I'm beatten up by sleep (46 hours already), but I have to stay awake for another 7...if I'll manage not to go the hospital after this wild weekend, I'll be fine! :D the image quality is not so great, but is the thought that counts, right? I appreciate your gesture and I certainly hope that you like some of my works - after all, I only expect that my images touch you as a string of a violin that everytime plays the same song, but with different accents! Thank you! Love, Mihai.

That bird has no soul! Looking away from such a gorgeous view (ah yes, but what was he looking at?) Nice! Can you sharpen it, and possibly lighten the centre - or maybe it is the dark frame?(Im knit-picking, as usual). Cliff.
