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!!)

Very nice! Serendipitous, even. Otherworldly, especially the contrast between the "alien" trees on the hill in the background and the "humanoids" in the foreground. Thanks for sharing it.

Not, I do not believe randomly subtle who catch &parfois people for their happiness! You had with this world on sand, really little chance to make an exceptional photograph, besides its against day and its setting sun... and here is the gift of the gods of the photograph... a kid even rebounds on him to create a shower of foam in the sea and... in this world there Kimarie, it will never fall down on the surface of water... recroquevillé for eternity on itself!!!

Amazing silhouetting in this ethereal capture of the beach goers out at Laguna Beach. Love the sepia effects and reflections in the sand. Kinda far from your residence up north, though, eh, Kimmie? Quite a drive for you. Speaking of that same heat wave, will this insanity never end? It's 103 degrees Fahrenheit right now at 1:30 PM in my old home town, which is 18 freeway miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
