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!!)

Same has happened to me :( The rederosity homepage does mention that there is a new IM system in now so might be something to do with that??? Anyway excellent capture, awesome compo, and postwork!! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Great shot! Congrats on that bit of luck with the goose. All my best shots are almost always accidents. I like the composition of this one - the colors are great and the play of shadows on the ground all work out wonderfully.

You lucky duck Kim! This goose really came along and made this fantastic image extraordinary! I know what you mean about the click and hope - who has the equipment to do that 9 frames a sec. thing? Probably Joe (nattarious) but he has everything - LOL... seriously great luck and awesome work! +++

Lovely capture Kimmers! I hope his symphony did not lay an egg! ;) Give Annie a hug, but she don't need to be frighten of them now! When they go to attack, just come at them, grap them by the neck, and soon you'll be pettin' 'em! ;)

Conducting the symphony of life...at least he has an audience of one...Well composed and captured shot Kimmers! Aloha!
drifterlee
Gorgeous shot!!!!! Very beautiful scene!!
rayburg
Awesome composition and great timing...my only problem is with the blueness of the water...Did you saturate the shot or is this natural? Other than the blue blue water, the reat of the shot is spectacular and you didn't have to ley down in the water or the mud...lol...Super work Kimmie
Margana
Wonderfully composed shot,Kimmie.I actually like the blue water Ray mentions...but then I like a bit of saturation myself.It makes things more painterly to me.Extra special is the light and shadows in this.Excellent work!And LOL about the IM's.I know...-M :^)

Great shot, Kimmers! Absolutely beautiful. Love the blue water. That tree is something else.. Wonderful work. Hugs.
