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!!)

Great capture as always Kim! Hope you're feeling better now :)

OMG, when I first saw the fabulous beach capture with the fantastic silhouetting, setting sun and gorgeous reflections, I had no idea that my sweet Kimmie had had a terrible accident, slipping and sliding and hitting her head, etc. If that had happened to me, I would have ended up crying and not laughing. Evidently, MrsLubner isn't the only one that sustains such injuries. I hope your back injury does not develop into anything chronic and will pass.

Beautiful sis I love the reflection and silhoutte on the water.. I know all about back pain...a good thing you weren't seriously hurt... If it keeps up please go see about it... Dr took me off my Morphine today and want to increase the patches...I am not liking this turn of events..they make me loopy and want to sleep for days on end...I don't like that at all... But love this Hugs Susan~

Sorry but I just had to laugh also, you remind me of my wife, anytime she sees an accident like yours she laughs, not only when it happens to her but when it happens to anybody. One winter she took a short cut(she thought) across the fields to get to the shops. Her friend was with her and they came to a barbed wire fence, her friend went first to climb over, she got her panties caught went tumbling down, landed face down in the snow showing her bare backside. My wife sees this and laughs so hard she slipped and landed very hard on her backside. When they get home and tell me this, I laugh until I cried. Oh! what a beautiful sunset to end the 'perfect' day. Fantastic is the word I was looking for. Bravo!!!!!

You've nicely captured the essence of a summer's eve walk along the beach... I only wish I was there....!!!!

Beautiful capture! The color and shadow combo is fantastic, and hopefully you are in less pain now, or preferably NO pain.

The low setting sun really brings out the beautiful textures. I love the golden hues and the silhouettes are delightful. I hope you are feeling better - ouch!

Great shot . . . Grace! :^)

A wonderful capture of a beautiful sunset. Sometimes it is easier to laugh when you are hurt than it is to cry cause if you cry you may not be able to stop. I hope your back is feeling better they can be so painful. Take care.

I am glad you survived the day to seen this sunset! lol... That sounded like a scene out of "Final Desination" :-o Li

Oh Kimmers! I did a similar thing a while back and it is a real bummer. You laughed about it and I wrote a poem about it. We are interesting people. It took me some weeks to get healed. I'm hoping you have a speedier recovery. I love you photograph. It is a very tranquil scene. Healing hugs, Suzanne
mps
I sure hope your back if much better. It was a funny story in a way.
