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!!)

Beautiful photograph! You have captured the regalness of the buffalo so well.
Shardz
What a fantastic capture, no bull! LOL! I'd be a bit nervous getting so close, but maybe he sensed you were a friend and wanted to make him a star! What I really love about your posts is that you include information about the picture. So many just post images and I have no idea what I'm looking at! LOL! Beautiful capture, excellent work!

Excellent capture of this wooly guy! A unique effect with the sunlight in the background. I'm glad to see you smudging again, you are so talented at it!

Excellent picture. I love the colouring and the lighting. Your annotations are also very useful. Yes, I have seen them in Yellow Stone where they roam free. It is good to hear that their population is on the rebound. Excellent photo and an equally excellent text.

COOOOL!!!! Wow, i can only imagine how cool it must be to see one up close like that. Beautiful shot of that bison. And an amazing capture of those rays. 2 photos that would have stood best on their own two legs IMHO. Have a great day. #:O)

Yes Kimmer, I like this one even better. The close up makes (s)he look more mello. The way you did the postwork on this one make it look like (s)he went to eat where the grass is greener. ;) Wonderful old fashioned movie ad 3D effect here. Love it!!! Excellent work.
brycek
WOW..Super shot Kim. Love how it jumps right off the page..excellent work!!
