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!!)

"no paint brushes just paint tool"....eh? Whats the paint tool if its not a brush? #:oP Genious work once again my friend. You know how much i love your smudges. What are those two "furballs" in the front? At first i thought it was the heads of two boys viewing or something, lol. But now im guessing theyre a couple of chubby sheeps. Awesome work Kimmie!!! Looks like youve grabbed the holiday spirit. #:O)

kimariehere
in paint shop 7 the paint tool is just basically something you pick up color with or at least i do for color but my painting is done with the smudge tool by sliding it around... hehe yep those fluff balls they are a couple of well fed sheep ., as in photography i was attempting to make chubby sheepies guys closer in the point of view giving the effect that they are nearer to the viewer looking at the whole manger scnene...((.lol yes,!Andreas 's comments do always bring a big smile and a laugh

Such a STUNNING scene and card. Just adore the rich colors and the pov of those furry, fat little sheep ... and yes, the song and your singing, too.:o) You are such a gifted artist and always find special ways to express yourself. I wish you and your family a joyous Xmas filled with lots of love and yummies ... and many good things in the New Year. Holiday hugs and a vote. :o) CC
