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!!)

Oh c'mon, photography is painting with light and it does have all the qualities of a good painting now. I appreciate the fact that it is stroking/smudging of the different parts and textures and not just a quick filter being applied - very creative! and beautiful the pair!

Girl you got skills!! One thing I love about this site is that you can be yourself and post what you love and know the best. That's why the photo manip was created so you could do what you do best. I'm really glad to see your own style being exhibited like this. This one really pops girl! Keep up your artistic style I for one love this image and can appreciate the time and effort involved. How could you not love it? Killers Kimmy!! Aloha~ Oh yeah....I'm stealing it! Mahalo~

This is totally adorable! I've always adored your painting technique and this one is quite exceptional. Both Nellie and Moby look so vibrant, and I even like that little frown on Moby's sweet face. Wonderful! :o) CC

I like this a lot, Kimmers, and don't you worry about any purists...Anyone calling themselves a purist sounds like a person who doesn't have much fun. And this is fun! For me, the focal point in this photomanip is your daughters eyes. (Well, here eye, singular, since the right one is barely visible LOL) After that, my attention is drawn to the puppy's sad and worried eyes. So, you've done a good job here. No wonder you're getting requests!!! :-) Keep at it, Kimmers! Gun PS. Thanks for the comment regarding my latest stuff. MUCH appreciated!!!
