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!!)

That is great what you did with a bad picture. Love the effects and the happy look on your face. :)

LOL...youre right youre such a "sucker" hehe..But your art most certainly dont suck, it never sieze to amaze me how talented you are. Its weird, i didnt get an email notification that you had uploaded this one, im glad you pointed it out to me. Bla bla bla...back to the picture....I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! Looks awesome as always, but can i make one small suggestion? I would love to see your work in a bigger scale, so since you smudge and paint over that original photo leaving almost nothing left..maybe you could dubble its size before you start. Your art is way too good to be viewed in such a low resolution #:o) Sweet dreams!!!!!!!!!!!

The colinear bear is always there trying to make the up and the down not meet the left and the right. It's enough to make your skin crawl. This is right cute.

Such a sweet gesture - and I'm surprised you dared put your hand into this - although litte, still a bear.. but then again you know animals :-) So cute .. Ha ha .. love the story about your sister on the beach, I guess some people got the surprise of their life walking their little dog LOL. Your paintover is wonderful and you look like a star. Excellent composed capture (who took that shot?). Regarding size, I actually like it this size or at least not bigger than 1024 in the width (I like to keep the picture on the screen without having to scroll sidewards).... sorry, talk talk talk .. I keep looking at this painting. Yes, you have star quality ;-) Excellent work
sossy
a wonderful lighted and impressive portrait and a fantastic work! ;o)
Bocuma
How cute is this!!! And i would have loved to have seen the expression on peoples faces as they were walking along the beach with their dogs minding their own business... and then your sister walks past with an ELEPHANT!!! hehe
kenmo
