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!!)

Just awesome!! Here in Sweden we have had almost no summer, just rain and winds. I have not bathed in the sea even once. So för me your silvery beach resembles heaven on earth!

Excellent POV, DOF, lighting and clarity in this watery photograph. Really like the waves hitting the shore.

This is an incredible photograph! Beautiful DOF and the perspective is phenomenal. So much to see in this beach scape, and the water, with the waves is fantastic! This photograph has greatly captured the sense of movement, and done a great deal of justice to this special place. Thank you for sharing that little bit of what this place represents, as your words are truly complimenting to the photograph, and give it a warm feel. Beautiful lighting and great contrast! Thank you for sharing this with us~! Very special indeed!

Pretty choppy waves on a lake, but I've never seen the great lakes either??? This is a wonderful image especially with your daughter and your husband in the shot and top it off with your childhood memories, how could it get better????

This perfect composition captures the beachy mood perfectly. I love how the eye flows from the lighthouse to the sailboat to the wave and finally to the girl with the tire, wonderful!
