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!!)

What an awesome composition here pretty face the kimarie :) Now! did you open a thread as i told you! or shall i do it!! Oh well i will wait for your answer honey.. Now back to the subject.. As i mentioned the compo is amazing.. and POV & DOF!! it is really amazing how you managed to get it from that angle.. Oh well i ain't surprised cause i got 12 different shots today of your favorite butties :)).. You know what! Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves. Right! Thank you for the post Kimaire.. and please don't say that again honey.. You know me :)) and no.. I will still break the agreement.. And for now thank you for that amazing lovely colourful butty.. and the next butty of mine will be only for you.. Be ready for it tomorrow sweetheart..

I could go out looking for something as fantastic and beautiful as that all day and never find it. Evidently awesome photo ops present themselves to you several times a day. Some people have all the luck. Cool shot Kimmers.

Wonderful shot! The focus and DoF are fantastic! Excellent capture, as you got the light to show wonderful translucence through the wings without blowing the highlights or suffering any negative exposure effects.
