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!!)

There are SO many things happening in this shot. Light, shadow, color, texture, position, the bence, the dress, her hair, the butterflies... it is a very INDUSTRIOUS picture despite being seemingly innoucous!!! Eksalenta kaj perfekte prenita! (that's a good thing...) Li Luyi

Looks like your girls have aquired an interest in nature, just like mom... I hope they have 1/2 the talent as mom does??? I'm sure they do!!!!! excellent work Kimmers!!!!!!!
TheWarlock
Wow, u know what would have made the shot better? If you caught her glancing at you.

TO the warlock -thank you for your imput it is appreciated ,but i do not agree ..i feel like she had complete focus and energy in getting that butterfly on her finger and if she would have turned around it possibly wouldnt have the same effect.. but i do thank you for your imput ...

Great capture indeed... non posed imagery can be the best... it let's the viewer really become absorbed into someone else's world. There is such warmth and wonder to this image. Lovely work...

What an uncanny eye you have. Always such a mixture of color, form, and light. Yet it's the philosophy of wonder and imagination that comes thru the loudest. You never cease to amaze me and re-affirm my belief in just about everything good in life.
