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!!)

I love lighthouses too - and even have a series of tall mugs with New England lighthouses. This is a very suggestive image, and I love how you set the sky on fire even more with your post artwork. The smudge thing is a beautiful thing and you use it well! Great job, Kim.

Fantastic mood! Looks almost like a painting. I love your eye for finding natural frames for your photos, i mean trees and such.

Beautiful balance between the foliages of the tree in top on the left and grasses in bottom on the right of the stereotype. Kimarie avoided the traditional trap of the sun sleeping in the center of the photograph. Perfectly balanced, its photograph becomes interesting, because for me, its feature of humour with the tended hand, allows us ' vivre' his photograph, therefore a little its memories. Me this hand, indicates a group to me buildings emphasized well this time, that I will like to know a little more. France is a country with many coasts, therefore of headlights, but this one has a rather particular form, which I recognized only in one American film, a film catastrophe, on the marine floods. Very very beautiful photograph thank you Kimarie.

Superb composition Kimmie, and you've made a gorgious post-work on this Sunset. Funny this hand (but is it a hand ?) I love Light house, and I would like to make a serie of them. We've got so many ones in Brittany too. Have a nice day. Hugs
