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!!)

I thought that she was a poser character, and surprised when I saw photography. she has enormous eyes and what an expression!!!
silverhalide
At first glance I thought you got poser software! Those big eyes are to die for!! I stayed home and freaked out the trick-or-treaters with my costume...see my last upload!

There's something really strange about her!! Her face looks distorted!! But I love the mood of this shot!! And the POV is totally wicked!!!

You have a great eye! She is perfect for the shot!! Great decision to make it black and white! This could have been taken in the 1950's!! Way cool Kimmers!

I'm glad that the parents didn't become alarmed when you asked to shoot the little girl. I imagine that still has more than one meaning to native Americans. ;-) Wow! such a cool shot and POV. V
SophiaDeer
Very pretty and love that attitude.
romanceworks
Wow - this is just SO CUTE! Will you look at her HUGE dark eyes! An excellent photo - you really captured her personality ... even if you had to 'shoot' her to do it.;o) Fantastic. V. :o) CC
Hidinthesierras
Awesome job in this! I love the lighting and the expression on her face! I remember Santa Ana Winds, that is cool. It was kind of nice this year up here, last year was painfully cold! My grandkids appreciated the milder weather that is for sure! 8-)

Excellent portrait of this Native American girl. She's quite the ham eh??? Nice of her folks to let you shoot a few images. Bet she doesn't know she's world famous now?? LOL!!!!! very cool image Kimmers!!!!!! ;)
Odessey
Quite a ham indeed, and yes she does resemble a kewpie doll my wife collects them and every other doll that is avalible, excellent work!
cynlee
a very striking young lady, excellent contrast ;].. this has a very painterly look to it, ecspecially in her face.. i suppose adding the foreshortened legs & feet is what also gives her an illustrated look
Dianthus
Excellent portrait. Great postwork:)
suresh_krishna
Kimmers, this is a very stunning portrait of the Indian girl! Every bit of postwork you have done on this is well worth the effort. Opportunities such as these to take really good candid shots rarely happen. I am so glad you garbbed it when it came your way. Love those eyes and the tone of her skin. Postwork is excellent, so is the frame!
Punaguy
What a wonderful portrait you captured here Kimmers...she's soooooo adorable..your PW just enhanced her beauty...looks like she's done this before! Aloha!
Georgy
