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!!)

This is a beauty. I've only done one pano so far and was amazed just to get five pics to go together. Downtown is excellent but the mountains are gorgeous. Well done.
DarkStormCrow
Excellent!

You lost 36 pounds? From where? You were slender to begin with! Sterling stitching and terrific lighting apparent in this great panorama of Anchorage, Kimmie! I could have sworn you used a tripod.
MrsRatbag

Just to show you that you don't need a fancy camera or a tripod to get great results. Having a great eye and a steady hand you can achieve what your mind sees. Lovely evening shot here Kimmy! Man that looks frigid, but what a lovely time of day! I've been to Anchorage and never saw it more beautiful....! Well done girl! Aloha~

Sweet panorama... especially considering it was a pocket camera and no tripod. Very good work Kim! I love how the lighting makes areas of the photo look warm... a great contrast to the otherwise chilly atmosphere.

Exceptionally beautiful shot! Congrats on your weight loss too! Soon as the snow melts, I've promised myself I'll spend less time on this thing...right!

Very nice work Kimmers. I looked hard and you have hidden the seams very well. It's also not really the kind of image I would normally favour either but it is most certainly what I would call a "seller" as i suspect many people would love a copy.

When I was much more young person, my mind was fascinated by the Big North I devoured all books of FERNIMORE COOPER, of JACK LONDON, James Oliver CURWOOD, from CAPTAIN BYRD, discovery of Canada by the French, then rivalry with English, without forgetting the explorations of audacious Norwegian captains, leading polar expeditions to the service of its majesty the Big Sultan of the gold door!!! Yes all that enraptured my childhood, when I did not roll about in short pants in the snow! But for me at that time after the war of 1939-1945, I had seen the photos of the American base of Anchorage??? and all batiments in sheeting was gathered as bears sensitive to the cold around their mother... Your splendid photo shows me what an excess of civilisation made environment of this distant land it took a sacred blow is it also the evolution of the man.. .. I will have always believed only Alaska in 14 and would be so much changed, hurt, hurt being in the Big North! Your photo is SPLENDID, but I will expect what it is more that of the suburbs of Dallas, that that of ancient Paradise named Alaska... It is not you personally who are at issue but this human madness to want tou to prevail without excessive precautions!!! That unexpected boulversements for me I am still proud to have this child's soul!!! My salutations to your children and your animals I love you Kimarie, friend Artiste, your splendid photos especially!!! CLAUDE

WOW! An exquisite panorama - you did a lovely job on this and I really like the contrast of the warthm of the lights against the cold snow and trees. Should make a spectacular photo to frame. And I'm so proud of you for losing weight. Good idea to be more active. CC
