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!!)

very cool picture

Kim, this is extraordinary! The lighting is fantastic and your focusing perfect. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that if you look objectively at your last three images (including your macro today) you would see that you have a gift for two of these.... I have said it before and will probably say it again - when you look at those who are doing the super-macros with the extension tubes and macro lighting attachments, you really get an appreciation for how equipment-centered that form of photography is (when you have the tools the macros are beyond repair.) However, I concede that it is fun to try to capture those flies and butterflies though. Big hugs to you Kim... +++

The way the leaves in the forground float above the water is almost three-dimensional on my screen. Combined with the awesome hue and reflectivity of the water, the duck the bridge, and even the highlighted horizon, I can't think of a single way to improve this image. To view your art is to glimpse heaven. Geeze.....how amazing.

To people who have worked long enough I would alter Mr Jefferson's words to "tranquility and peace". Now how about that? This photo is exquisite!
