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!!)

awesome pic Kimarie. I hope your tooth situation has been resolved
Shardz
I really dont know how you get these incredible shots of opportunity, but I think it has something to do with the fact you were meant to photograph the world in your amazing style! I just hope the European cowgirls don't get jealous! LOL! The lighting is just perfect and really brings the best out of the composition without postwork that most of us use as a crutch. There is absolutely no doubt in your abilities to deliver such superb images, and your descriptions on each and every image are just the best, Kimmers! If I did my artwork like you, I'd be thrilled! You have an eagle eye for the perfect shot no matter where you go, and it's just fantastic to live through your eyes! Outstanding work and this is how the West was won! *****

Very nice. I like how you almost wondern if this is a black and white...but then see all those other colors in the background. Makes it feel warm. Great shot!

Excellent pic. Backlit pictures are hard to do and you managed to come up with one terrific picture. I agree with Shardz that your ment to photograph the world through those artistic eyes of yours..great work Kimmers.

Swish some Jim Beam around your tooth, it will not cure your pain but make it tolerable till you see a dentist. A miracle anti-pain drink. Aloha

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! If theres something i love...its a cowgirl pulling her weight on a hardworking farm. I love this shot Kimmie. The silhoutte is just great, as is the warm tones. It has some grain however that i think would be less visible if you just scaled it down a bit. Its really no need for it to be this big...is it? Have a wonderful day! #:o)

Great shot!!! Fantastic silhouette!!! Bravo Kimarie!!!!

Lovely shot, kimarie - I think the brightness in the background has complimented the cowgirl - making the outline more precise. I quite liked how the boots came out shiny in this photo. I sympathise with you regarding the sore tooth - I had a real bad one a couple of months ago - that no pain killers or the pain relief gel could help mask the pain ... turned out I need to do a root canal ... but the pain is nothing compared to a bad ear ache but that's another story ha ... ha ... I ain't laughing right now. :) Cheers Tina - and thank you for sharing your wonderful photos with the rest of us :)

It's a cool shot Kimmers! It is a nice silhouette, but my eyes actually first go the the back of the lighted shovel on the wall. That intrigues me for some reason. :0)
