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!!)

OMG the pic in the bottom center is soooooo CUTE!!!!! What a cool find, it is a shame someone would throw it out to fend for itself. Glad you have decided to give it a home and hope that it won't cause you any sleepless nights.

I'm sure he's/she's found a great home ... and glad to read that Candi gets along too. Cool shots and loved the story. Excellent!! V

I must say you have one of the bravest daughters around..most girls her age would have run kicking and screaming from this lizard. A nice find for her, and many dollars spent for you...but you did the right thing and probably saved it's little life. The shots are just darling....especially the ones with your dog! Have a great time with your new house guest! Aloha!

Oh wow, what a stunning collage and story, Kimarie! Love it! Whew! Fantastic to see all those pictures and your littlun played the main role here! Excellent work, very original!

what an interesting life you do lead ! at first i thought you had been photoshopping, but then i read that Bearded Dragons are unusually sociable lizards, so maybe cuddling dogs is normal behaviour for them ? and as she is Australian, what not call her Sheila ?

By the looks on the Iguana's face, I think she knows she has found a good home! By the look on everyone else's faces, they have warmly welcomed her HOME! :) BTW, in my early teens, I once had 15 reptiles in the home. Often 3-4 would be roaming lose & fancy free! Careful where you tread! ;)
nongo
If that dragon continues to smile like that, then I'm sure he's a content fellow!!!! Wow, what a story!!!!! Don't you just love life's little adventures?????!!!!!! thanks for sharing this one... ;-)
