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!!)

Always wonderful to see your Sunset Kimmers ;o))) and with a fisherman it's better ;o))) (I love to fish too...) I'm happy for you about your new toy... Nikon ! And I'm waiting to see your futur shots made with it. But the technology is one thing.... the eye of the photographer is another one, and you've got a great eye in a natural way. I'm also very pleased to have seen and read all the pictures and the comments of the friends of Renderosity for you, yesterday and today (your Birthday continue Kimmers ;o)))) You are a so kind woman, it's the less we can do for thanks you for all your kindness and friendship. And I'm sincere (I'm always sincere, in good and in bad....). So enjoy your new gifts, and have a wonderful day ! Hugssss.

Sounds like you had a fantastic birthday. Didn't do too badly in the gift department either. Magnificent capture, I know that you are going to have a lot of fun with your Nikon.

A lovely lady gives us such lovely colors and such a serene setting. It seems i am later than many in wishing you a happy birthday but it is none the less sincere for that. I don't know how you manage to respond to so many submittions and take pics and raise a family. You are a source of encouragement and support to many here. I am thrilled you got the new camera (almost as happy as i was when i got mine) and i hope you and it last a long long time.
