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!!)

Kimarie, this is an Amazing photo! The reflection on the dragonfly's eye(?) is sooo cool, and I love the way you've framed the image!....And, of course, what a lovely daughter!!

An attentive glance, having the aim, a dragonfly studded on a finger of the child to the soft glance. Two large eyes of insects which seem to face the objective. Here to make a beautiful stereotype, very amusing, especially by learning that the insect will take its take-off! Beautiful catch of sight Kimarie and good reflexe.

I didn't know a dragonfly could smile but this one certainly is. How funny. I guess he is happy he landed on such a pretty girl.
rayburg
That should be framed and hung in a special plce. what a great picture...the dragon even looks like he's smiling..
erskogly
Another amazing shot of your daughter with what has to be the world's most docile dragonfly:)
Biffowitz
What a crazy face on the dragonfly, did you paint that on? amazing shot, I luv the POV.
WarpedHalo
The striking feature in this picture will have to be Annie's eyes - I think they are beautiful to be honest. The dragonfly is so adorable as well - I hate bugs - and even though I've seen how cute and gorgeous they are in your photos - I am not sure if I would change my mind about them. In my case, they are best enjoyed in a distance grin. Been browsing through your gallery - and boy, your pictures are brilliant :) Cheers, Tina
jocko500
the dragonfly is smilieing lol. look like he very happy.. real good shot
Digimon
Super shot Kimmers! Love the POV!! Your daughter looks more "Alice" than Annie in this shot!!
goodoleboy
Great Scott, Annie's eyes are as big as saucers! Good side lighting and shadow! Yessiree, that attar or pheromone spray or ointment will do it every time! You can attract all kinds of little critters that way. The dragonfly looks like a fighter plane coming in head on. Apparently running interference for Annie. Can't be the same one you use all the time since they have a lifespan of only 24 hours. All in all, a winner all the way, Kimmiepoo!
kimariehere
didnt use any ointment or spray to attract them we were on a trip with my Mom to south bend ... just landed naturally no lie i promise!!... it was the same dragonfly as on her nose just came off her nose onto the finger LOL why all the doubting thomases??...
webdancer
An amazing shot! I love his little face! She'll definitely have a story to share when she heads back to school!
helix3d
It's interesting how cooperative all these bugs have been in these photos. Are they professional bug models or what?
Dynazty

RubyT

lemonjim
