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!!)

a fine portrait. she does indeed look sweet and kind, and so i hope this teen-transition will not be too traumatic.

Very cute, they grow up so fast, it is like a blink and then they are married or off to school...

Happy birthday Janel :) Kimarie - it will yet be another wonderful journey, I'm sure. I know it won't be long before I'd be celebrating my wee girl's 13th birthday (she's only 2 now grin cheekily) ... but they do grow up fast don't they? This is quite a beautiful image of her - turning into a butterfly. Cheers ;) Tina

Beautiful portrait of your lovely daughter, Watch out, she is a teen now LOL!

She'll stay sweet ... trust me. :) My Deedoh is now 15 and is still as sweet and wonderful as she always is. I always feared (and dreaded) when my 3 kids became teenagers, too. But they are all so wonderful - now 17, 15 and 13 - I let them know just how great they are, regularly .. amazing how far those positive strokes go. I have so much to say on the subject; but will stop here. This is one beautiful photo of your little girl. Happy birthday to her!! :)

Your Janel is a budding beauty and what a marvelous photo. It seems to show the two sides of her, the softer reflection in the mirror and the young lady growing up. I was a terror at 13 - yikes, but my daughter stayed sweet. Happy B-Day to Nellie! CC

Happy birthday! She's beautiful!

The teen years! My oldest just turned thirteen as well and minute by minute his sweet disposition is evaporating. They say they always come back. We'll cross our fingers.
