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!!)

Amazing 3D effect on this boot Kim!! It truly seems to be coming right out of my computer at me!! I don't know how you do that but it's fantastic. I loved reading your story of the Boot and the hard-working man, told to you by his loving wife. It's a very inspirational story and as always, perfectly told. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us. :-) I apologize for being so late at commenting in your gallery Kimmer but I have enjoyed viewing each and every one of your new posts. Your work only continues to get better and more awesome each day!! Have a beautiful weekend. (((Hugs))) and a very belated...Happy Birthday to you! I hope it was a very special day. ~ maggie

What a marvelous true story, very touching and you did well photographing it from the low POV, as if you had to bow down yourself to take the pic. Excellent work.
elmurray
Great story! What a fabulous perspective of this piece of family history and great lighting. Well done!
Bothellite
LOL.. great story. The photo is marvelous -- like the POV very much. Had a similar story, came from the neighber to the north, now moved away. The "Chief", as he was referred to was a huge man, a bulldozer operator. He left his faithful redwing work boots behind. They were so wide my wife planted hens and chicks in them. They are still out there somewhere.

Great POV and image..I see that creative artistic eye of yours is still hard at work ..
