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!!)

Just love the bottom center one with Candi winking and the dragon smiling! Quite a day. Great captures all
Margana
LOL I was going to say the same thing as Pat.I love the shot of Candi winking.As to your new addition,life just has a way of bringing things together.Witness Andreas and all his 'strays'.It's what we do with them,I think,that matters.And you are clearly one of the good guys in my book.Lovely collage,Kimmie and hope you'll let us know what 'she' ultimately gets named.-M :^)

n reply to Kenwas. Dont think it would be able to survive long . Its clearly a tame domestic animal that was let go of . If we let it go it would die .. its was practically dying of thirst. Took it to the pet store and they confirmed that. These are only naturally wild i believe in Australia..it would get hit by a car here.. probally someone moved and had to let it go . IT ate some pear and drank water and was thirsty. I think we can give it a good home. The book says they are docile and good eduacational pets for children . so we will take it day by day.. .and Candi reallyee didn't mind it at all infact they fell asleep together happily lol!!...
kenwas
Thanka KM, I stand corrected. Give it a great home.
danob
Hehe wonderful the best things we can do is give our kids a happy home your photography always shows that!!
ARTWITHIN
All shots are great, but my favorite is the bottom middle one. That dragon looks so contented on Candi's head. I even think it is smiling. LOL! And look at that dear Candi, putting up with a dragon foot in her eye. Kimarie, this is just so warm and fuzzy I can't stand it. I love it and love that you share these things with us.
