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!!)

Ha! ha! this is how my appy looked when she saw traffic! She tried to kill me off more than once with her skitish ways! This is a cute idea, and I love the look on the carousal horses face! I know what you mean by spending to much time sitting down! everyday I make my self take a hike and take out my dogs, so I get exercise, then do yoga stretches when I have been sitting to long!( my job involves lots of driveing, so that doesn't help either! 8-)

I have 2 lane country roads here in my little part of Ky grin As for the carousel horse I love it and don't you dare delete it...... I think it's awesome Vote n hugs Susan~

Well, Kimmer, at least he isn't wearing roses today! You know how I hate that!!! LOL Had to take the bus last time. A wonderful, warm, feel-good image. Thank you for sharing your gentle humor and talent.

No Georgy doesn't love horses, that would be an understatement. I like, and not only the head with its blue-orange contrasts, but also the two cars beyond. they add to the amazing mood. Gas? How are you for walking? Was the black upper beyond there, or did you apply? It helps enormously. Cliff.
cynlee
lol.. his paniced expression fits in well to find himself in traffic! would've luved that one with the blue sky & stars & moon.. i could see this as a series, these carosel horses showing up in the funniest places :D
Lledeline
