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 a gorgeous and cute shot, Priceless beyound words. Wonderful photography Kimmers..

Nellie has a real gift at attracting and holding the butterflies long enough for you to take such a great picture. this shot is precious.
Denger
Fantastic capture -- that is way too cute! -- and great idea about the pollen... I would never have thought of that! FIVE STARS
gunsan
You know I love butterflies...sweet little girls too! I must test to attract them with pollen too. My oregano is blooming and attracts so many butties. Gorgeous capture, Nellie and the butterfly match eachother perfectly in colors.

Well you may have another one like this in your gallery but since I didn't see it this certainly isn't redundant to me! Never thought of putting pollen on one's finger tip to track a butterfly-sure makes a sweet photo!

Children wear innocence so perfectly, that even the tiniest of creatures will trust them. As always, wonderful shot.

Very sharp and clear..really a magnific photo of your daughter you can be proud of! Nice butterfly too..Great picture Kim! :)

So that's how you get them in close...pollen on the finger, how ingenious. When I was a kid we use to catch flies, then get a long piece of grass and make a loop on the end, then tighten the loop around the fly. Then we would wave it around and attract dragon flys.....worked really well. I like the POV on this one she looks so proud...not to mention those big ole eyes...so cute...Great shot Kimmers! Aloha!
