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!!)

Truly a phenomenal shot Kimarie! It's good to see you back and with such a beautiful sunset. The framing of the trees adds so much to it. Those colorful reflections in the water are superb!
goido
Nice silhouette
busi2ness
You framed the moon very well and have excellent silhouettes in the composition. The color in the reflections alone make it look like selective coloring - excellent. Good to see you upload again, now show us the "other" pictures too, LOL!

Wow thats a fab shot especially to get some colourful sky and the moon as a bonus!! Is it a willow or Peppercorn tree?/ Looks like a peppercorn (i have one in my yard)!! Cheers.
goodoleboy
Superb definition and silhouetting of the whole composition, especially the trees! You have been sorely missed Kimmiepoo! Please don't stay away so long. Incidentally, if you want to trade your Canon XT for my little Canon PowerShot A80, even and across the board, I'd be glad to oblige.

Excellent work, really wonderful!!
