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!!)

Wooooohoooo 400th!!! you go girl haha :-) very cool animation :-)
Chipka
Happy 400th...this is a great and wonderfully playful image! I have NO idea why you wouldn't do self portraits, you have a pretty, and expressive face...okay and you got that playful impish gleam in your eye too! This is a great shot though, great idea and execution, and it kinda makes me glad that YOU can't see what's on the other side of this monitor, even if you ARE "taking my picture" since I haven't shaved and OR cleaned up my desk. :-) Great work and I am glad you posted it AND are playing around with animation! Keep it up and have fun getting to 500 posts!

Well done on your 400th! I've not been around a while, busy busy with my new job and spending most of my free time on Zazzle. I think this is a really creative idea and you certainly let your imagination go on this one! BTW, did my pic come out?! LOL!

Oh, has anybody ever told you that you should be in pictures? I don't mean Renderosity...I mean the movies!!!!!! Or at least television!!! You are absolutely gorgeous!!!
