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 wonderful and magic this Tree Kimmie ! and it's the perfect place to think and meditate... with all the energy of the Tree in contact with the skin. Love this place, and all the plays of lights and shadows too. Hugs.

very nice dedi ! superbly done !
Digimon
Wonderful shot Kimmers! Great dedi! This is not a crit, simply curious....why did you choose to shoot the shadow side and have mostly shadow in the image? Not a bad thing, just an interesting choice. Wonderful place!!
hotracer2

TheWarlock

kenmo

kiresiwel
Turely a wonderful image... so peaceful... love the long shadows cast from the tree.
kimariehere
lol Digimon-( Eric) yes= good observation and excellent question there...many reasons.to start off well i dont make it up there very often as its a long curvy drive and janel was sitting there naturally that was NOT posed for ..i had wanted to catch her sitting there with outbeing told naturally ... also i did shoot it from the other side later but the mountains and curve of the shore and lapping waves were not noticable...i was also drawn to the maxfield parrish type effect of backlighting there... so all that is why

I think it is a very well shot image

Excellent post work, a very scenic and interesting place you portrayed. Hats off to Stacey!

Beautiful capture, Kim. Rich and well thought out as ever yours are. It takes a quick thought to see the shot and catch it before the subject is aware, and the dark against that super background is perfect!

"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it!" -- Goethe Magnificent shot, Kimmers!

Ooooooooh
WIZARDEFX
Wonderful capture...you got to get these shots whenever you can...natural shots are always better than staged....I bet if you cropped the image down to just a little on top of the branch above her head, split the branch behind her, down to the shoreline and just before that big tree on the left. You would have another interesting picture from this great shot of yours...just an idea...
PeeWee05
Beaut shot - but then you always take beautiful shots...
Syltermermaid
