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!!)

He is going to be a great dog, EVEN when he grows up. It DEFINITELY does depend on the owner. You can make poodles be "mean and vicious" if you mistreat them and train them that way. We have three dogs, lab/dalmation cross, black lab, and shepperd cross, and they live in our loving home and are the sweetest dogs. Sounds to me like you love dogs, and this lil fella will grow up to be a sweetie as well, given lots of love, attention, and affection.

they are cute as puppys but full grown and mean is a different story. there was one that came by my house that was hungry so I fed her. the next morning she was back for more and then I took her to the shelter so she would not get killed. she was a sweet young pit bull but three dogs are too much to feed and pet with two hands. excellent shot Kimarie

This is a very cute picture, I just love it. Reminds me when mine were this small. I have three old family red nose and a chocolate red nose rescue pitbull. Our vet gave the chocolate one to us because he knew how well behaved and loved our pits are. Taking a pit to the shelter just signed its death warrant. The shelters will kill them because of their breed. The only animal killed by society because of their breed. These dogs are excellent dogs and full of love if the owner allows it. The owners are to blame for the bad rep these dogs get and the inbreeding they do with these dogs. Pits are extremely smart, stubborn at times and make excellent friends. If you want a loyal pet, the pit is the dog of choice, just make sure you buy your pit from a reputible breeder. I raised german shepards all my life and I will take a pit over a shepard any time, for my pet. This picture is just beautiful.
