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!!)

Sweeeeeet! I'm sure Robert will be quite pleased with the results. Obviously he doesn't know what a kind heart you have, but I'm sure this will give hime some insight. A very proud pose caught here...! You were a tiger about not letting him get away, and have been rewarded here with a great shot! So glad your all moved in, the worst part is over.

You have been missed and your postings have been missed also, lol. You do such great work with the little Nikon and this is a perfect example of that. Your portrait of Robert shows respect, professionalism and technical expertise. Your postwork and presentation leave nothing to be desired. I am sure he will like it and I certainly do. Congrats on the new home. I hope you have nothing but joy and fullfillment in it. Welcome back.

He is so wonderful looking and so proud...and you have done him justice in this image sis...I would of love to have heard your all's conversation... I am glad to see you back on line sis...that is why I sent ya an e-mail I thought something drastic had happened...and while a move isn't drastic it sure can be time consuming... This is just very exemplary and stunning...What tribe is he from sis.. Going to my favs...I love to read about the Native Americans Hope he comes to visit us at Renderosity and see all these wonderful comments... And when ya get time I got up a few newbies as well...
