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!!)

How dear this little bird and the people who rescued it. Life can harsh, but the animals seem to have a rougher time than we do. Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot. You did a great job smudging it Kimmers. Hugs!

Great shot, but the smudging could've been better -- maybe add a little "film grain" (if you're using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements) to the beak to make it look more realistic and match the rest of the photo.

Beautiful portrait to this sweet little bird! :)

If birds have facial expression, this one sure looks sad and desperate... just look at that curved beak and the fear in his eye! How could you capture that so well? Excellent shot, Kim!

Super oppertunity. Excellent photo and post work. I heard a man talking to a store clerk yesterday morning about a baby deer he photographed with his camera in phone...it was stuck in the mud and the doe stood nearby. He did not touch the fawn -for this area it is an early birth. Those young are seldome seen and less often photographed. Great capture.

Oh how sweet of youuuuuuu ... that would be something I would do!!! I saw a baby bird last week at work, trying to fly -- and its dumb mother took it by the highway. She flys across both lanes, leaving the baby there. Baby takes a hop or two ON the highway - I had to close my blinds. (even tho I peeked lol) it made it across. THANK GOD. I was ready to rescue that one ... Sorry for the long story .. I had to share. :) Have a wonderful day .. you have such a soft heart. bless you!

Such an incredible shot! Few get this opportunity and you made the most of it. I had a sweet yellow birdee clinging to my finger a few years ago after it had bumped into the window. It stayed for an hour then was able to fly off. I wish a had been photographing at the time! Excellent work Kimmers +++

Fantastic portrait of impressive detail.....!!!!
hotracer2
fantastic macro, such clarity and brilliance:):):)..v

WOW. Excellent shot !!! Incredible closeup of such a small bird. Sad story but the animal rescue centers are used to dealing with this so I am sure they will get it up and flying soon !!! I read an article somewhere on what to do if you find a baby bird. I will look and see if I can find it for you. I was somewhat surprised by it. Excellent work kimmie !!!! V
bentchick
Amazing close up!!! He really looks sad, it's breaking my heart!!! I hope he makes it! Hugs!!!
squirrel2005

webdancer
Fantastic shot! Poor little dear!

Wonderful shot,Kimmie.I like the way you framed it,too.I had a baby bird just like this one in my yard,and I too,felt compelled to rescue it.It turns out there are many birds that have this situation.The baby will usually stay under a bush or something and the parents will continue to feed it there until it's ready to fly off.They,(the bird-rescue people) told me 'rescuing' it was the wrong thing to do,and now it would probably die...sniff sniff...Just thought I should share that with you,because I had no idea.I thought I was helping the little thing.Oh well.Sorry for the babble.Lovely shot,Kimmie and hope you have a wonderful day.-M :^)

Great close up - hope he was OK till his flight feathers grew.
