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!!)

Id be lost without my electricity and laptop....but i can see some benefits being without those things as well. Such a pretty little girl this is. You caught her in a cute little pose looking away like that. Have a wonderful day Kimmie. #:O)

Chrissy is quite the poser! ;) Awesome the way your vanishing point goes on forever, and those waves look like they are big enough to ride! Wonderful capture, and full of God's Glory! :)

Beautiful clarity and WOW what a shot!

Very beautiful composition! 1/3 of sea and 2/3 of beach. Why? To emphasize "the small cabbage end", the gamine, avce its tire. Splendid sky contrasted well the child amuses me, because it is smiling, but also because I feel that it wants to look at the objective, and to make a great smile. To avoid that, Kimarie has the easy way to make coincide the ragrd with the mole, at the end of the pier. Kimarie, a large artist, and his daughter, excellent model! MARVELLOUS and FRESH!!!

Kimmie! Your photo reminds me of an Amanda Dunbar painting!!! (www.amandadunbar.com - I was in tears a whole evening when browsing her work - hubby thought I was bonkers) I love how the girl looks away, and it makes me wonder what she sees, and what she's thinking. The vastness of the ocean? The next sandcastle she's going to build? Or pondering how to persuade mom and dad how to get her a third icecream. LOL! Next, after the girl, I'm mostly taken by the sky. All beautiful!
