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!!)

Is that a smile I see on that Dragonfly's face! :) Can't say I blame him! Up close and LOVELY - Annie that is! ;)
redheadgrrl
Amazing eyes, amazing grin on the dragon-fly, but then again, who wouldn't be smiling in the presence of such beauty? I like your shot, and think the dark background of your lovely daughter makes the whole shot, kind of. The dragon-fly is of course icing on the cake. :-)

It has a face!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is smiling!!!!!! Seems this dragonfly liked your daughter!! May be your daughter were eating something and the smell attracted her. Or just a shampoo or a perfume!!! You have that lots of times with bees, they just around you because they go for a smell like most insects!! I don't doubt this photos I just think there must be a logical explanation!!LOL Fantastic!!!!!!!Hugs Ute

LOL! that was the first thing I noticed, was that it looked to be smiling, how very cool is this! You are too much! What an unusual and excellent capture. I really do like the way you focused on the Dragonfly, I think it is awsome! 8-)
romanceworks
These dragonfly pics are amazing and your Annie looks totally ADORABLE! What soulful eyes she has. I do believe that little critter with the smile is in love. :o) CC
frankiemas
I would be bothered too if that dragonfly stayed on my nose, I would be in a dreadful state of panic, unlike your daughter, who seems calm about having the dragonfly land on her nose. Wow this is an excellent closeup of the dragonfly!!! Believe me Kimmers, I believe you did not use any tricks to attract that dragonfly, sometimes things like this happen naturally. But I would be in a frenzy, if no one tried to swat that thing off my nose!!! Excellent photography Kimmers!!! Hugsss Frankie ^_^
Sekadhar
And this one is just superb shot!!!
Loloe
