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!!)

This gives me alot of memories of my home state, Michigan. The blue is perfect and the exact color as her suit...The water grey, and I KNOW it is NEVER WARM! ...Well, not in the U.P., anyway. Thanks for the memories and the beautiful capture.

LOL @ NO SHARKS!!!!!!!! hehehe.. Yes no shark lives in a sweet water :)) "Lakes" and about the 150 years ago. It is the same when the Russians make their biggest, first and deepest Underground Metro lines.. I know some of the stations have 6 and 8 lines in one and they go about 1.25KM under the ground :)) Nice shot Kimarie.. heheh Love the pose, pov and the beatch :D I wish if i have the chance to go there.. But i also wish it have some sharks honey :D :)) Like i did in Florida this year.. They called me crazy when i caught a baby shark with my hand and pulled it out to Miami Marina Club ;)) (^_^) Thank you for the post and have a wonderful sunny day.. The winter getting ready here now in Michigan.. Raining every sec for the past three days :P JOE Btw: If you want to list your website again here in Renderosity, please sign this thread HERE

That is so beautiful. The dark clouds threaten her wonderful day, tho... and signals the end of summer to me. :0)

Such a beautiful and vibrant shot. Just adore how Chrissy is gazing into the distance, and how her swimsuit matches the sky and clouds. Perfect colors and composition. CC

Sweet image. She is adorable. You really capture a very precious moment and I do love the dreamy effect. Marvelous. Boy your kids are going to have quite a scrapbook of photos of themselves as kids when they grown up. What a marvelous gift to them. Excellent work. I truly love this one !!!

Brilliant! I love the sky! It's so crisp and clear, not to mention the little one in foreground! Her suit matches it perfectly!
JustAlice
Fabulous picture, as always.

Kinda funny, but I've never really thought of Michagan as being "coastal" (if you count the great lakes as coasts). Nice scene. That's what I miss most about leaving California back in '92, the beach!. Soon we will move to East Texas to partake of the Gulf Coast. Hope to get some good hurricane shots!
SophiaDeer

Oh look at this cute and adorable beach scene! Chrissy looks really like a real model! Brilliant color photography! I love it so much!!!

Gorgeous shot, Kim. Let's see, 150 years ago 'rosity would be a museum, palettes would be, well . . . palettes, and no one would know what a pixel was. A lovely thought (except for the rampant diseases, etc. lol!) You certainly caught the painterly softness, difficult with such rich colors. Excellent as always!

Wow look at those clouds. Thats spectacular. And Crissy looks adorable. Beautiful lighting. Everything :O . :)
dcarvell
