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!!)

I'm sure that you will mend quickly. Keep laughting. It helps. I really love this shot. What intrigues me the texture of the sand and how the sun light plays on it. It almost looks like you painted it on this image. Excellent shot.
hotracer2
WOW, love this silhouette, accidents are sometime best.

Beautiful image. Perfect. Does this mean that your new nickname ill be Chevy Chase? lol I hope you won't be sore for too long. I suggest a tall Captain Morgan & Sprite for the pain.

Yikes!!!! That whole sequence sounds like a commercial for Tylenol. LOL. Glad you can laugh about it, Kim :) I hope you feel better when you wake up tomorrow. Big hugs from me. - Matt

Oh my gosh, that must have been some circus event. Glad you can laugh at it now. But, tomorrow will be another story. You poor girl, this almost happened to me too. But, with the automatic ice maker on and the door open a crack. Flooded my kitchen really good. Now for the picture. Great capture. Beautiful colors. Take care my dear. Aloha

Great capture! I have discovered the freezer door left open on more than one occasion, lucky for me I didn't use the super slippery floor cleaner! Hope you feel better soon. And laughter is great medicine!

This is so pretty- just love the silhouette and how the sun is reflecting on the wet sand. Your shots seem to be more and more pro. All I can say about your crazy morning is ... it's a good thing you didn't fall on your camera trigger finger. :o) Hope you feel better soon. CC

Jeez, just had a hell of morning there! Man I thought only I had those kind of days...a scene right out of 3 stooges for sure!! You had me cracking up with your description of the sequence of events. Mind you, I'm laughing with you...and just a small bit at you....this was hilarious. Sorry about your back, that won't be fun for the next few days. You did a lovely job on this image...really a special time of day for me so it really hits home for me. I love your composition, and what more could you ask but a best friend and a walk in the sunset on the beach? Take care and don't go running after any more popsicles. Take care, Aloha~
