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!!)

Excellent photo ... we have trees (palo verdes) near Tucson that do the same thing over the washes. I love the sentiment ... you are a good and caring person Kimmers. Kudos! **

Really beautiful picture. Love the composition and the control of light. It is so very difficult to combine bright and dark lighting in one picture. Yes, we do have to wait patiently. Only certain things can be hastened.

This is so beautiful! It reminds me of a park in New York state, just over the Connecituct border that my husband and I visit from time to time.

Gorgeous Photo and such a sweet and wonderful sentiment. The light is fantastic and gives this image a very magical feel to it. Here in Santa Fe we have trees that do the same thing in the dry months. I just love the title and story. So sweet and so heartfelt.

a magical place; sometimes I think that you dream more than your little girls and that's definetely wonderful at your age - you're so young at heart and that's the perfect way to have a wonderful life. may all your dreams come true, including the coming of your river. be happy always!

wow, this is a gorgeous shot. Do you think there is a way to make something this beautiful in Vue? Do you give lessons in phototgraphy. you should. I think I know what you mean about the waiting for waters, I have a teenage son, It seems like its going to be a long wait.
