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!!)

What an exceptionally beautiful photo. I do see the face, and I believe it's smiling at her. The fate of this world seem pretty grim to me right now, but there's always hope. What a gorgeous photo of waves and the ocean, the child, the gull, colors, that red in her dress is so lovely in the light. Great movement, shadows . . . This is brilliant! : )

Very touching image and poem Kimarie. It took me a moment to find the face in the sea. Assuming you didn't do that, it is amazing and impressive that you saw it as well

A gorgeous shot! The girl, the waves, and the gull, a shot to remember. Yes dear, have seen Chrissy posting here at RR. Isn't it wonderful that she and you share the same interrest? My chidren are both very far away from being creative, but I can see it in Emma and Rebecca. Well they have a maternal grandfather who is a painter, so the heritage is from two directions. How is it with your other girls? Do they share your photo skill too??

Superlative everything photographic in this marvelous composition, Kimmie!!! That's a sweet shot of Veronica, who often plays her harmonica on the beach in Santa Monica. Our ancestors came out of the sea, so why not hold a little conversation to get an insight on how it all happened.

Great! You should start a " Hallmark" type cards line..and the face is definitely there. Cool pic+5

tizjezzme
such a lovely photo and poem to go with it Kimmie ... I, too, am concerned. May our children face the futures tides with strength and fearless determination, to turn this country around. (I'm off to check out Chrissys gallery now.. thank you for her link!) :)
