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!!)

Such a fantastic capture of wonderment! You have turned this photo into a wonderful work of art. It's truly a blessing to your girls that you get to spend time with them. And a blessing to us that you found Rendo.

You go girl!! You amaze me with the expressions and the tone/colors/warmth and joy of your images. Blessings to you and your daughters!! Great work on another fine image!!
ana-maria
I'm impressed. How can you create such a beautiful image with the mouse. Fantastic artwork!!!
Zacko
YOU HAVE A POOL???? ;o) This one is just perfect..p e r f e c t... You can almost tell how much you love your kids (they are beaUtiful by the way, good genes I would reckon, lol) by how excellent those paintings turn out. I love all your work, but "Jump" and this one really shows your entire talent and then some. Ooops...bla bla bla...hear me babble...what can I say Kimmer but this is another piece of ART that you need to feel very proud of. Well done!!!!!!!!!
Mondwin
splendid paint!!EXC. bravo!vote!:DDD
Syltermermaid
Wow, again a wonderful painting!! But I have to agree with Zacko, this and JUMP are the best one, short after that, the painting with the little bear. You are an amazing talent and please never give up doing it, because you have a lot to give. Wonderful and vote, Kimarie!

Wow another great one but a master of getting that picture at the right time and paint out a great effect from those pictures. You should try out "ArtRage" at http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html "ArtRage is a painting package designed to provide a realistic and fun simulation of using paint on a canvas, along with pens, pencils, crayons, and other tools. You can run ArtRage on a normal Windows machine with a mouse, but it works particularly well if you have a graphics tablet. Even better, running ArtRage on a TabletPC takes advantage of the unique interaction of pen and screen to produce a realistic painting feel." It FREE so check it out. Look forward to seeing more of your great pictures and paintings.

Reading the above comments it has been said what I wanted to say .. LOL .. easy way of saying it all ey? But just want to say that I think it would be cool if you had eg. Poser, to see what you could do with a simple render and then a paintover, I am sure you would create some unique artwork there also. Thanks for sharing - and showing your beautiful family this way!

...and a WONDER it is! Your daughters are all so very lovely....and you seem to have the unfailing ability to capture innocence and joy with a camera...and then unbelievably make it softer and more magical in your painting style. The look on their faces says it all. What a warm and enchanting image this is.....all I can say is, thank-you so much for sharing your family and your talent. vote

So Much Talent Here! This Piece Of Art Is Way Beyond Excellence...A Big WOW!!!
avalonfaayre
This is so beautiful. You have captured the amazement in their eyes! I worked the whole time that my kids were growing up, and when they were 12 and 13, my former husband left us. You know what? If I had stayed home with my kids, I wouldn't have had anything...know what? I don't have anything now, and I missed out on everything. It breaks my heart. GOOD FOR YOU!

What a fantastic moment you have captured!! Not to diminish photography in any way, but what you have done with it is so much more personal and precious. ...And what a beautiful work of art and heart this is! :) BIG ~V~
gunsan
Can just agree with all praise above. You put your heart and so much life in your paintings and tell us lovely stories, what more can we wish? BTW you have wonderful kids!
Jay-el-Jay
This is really good!I like your smudge painting and the expressions of wonderment.
Michelle A.
You captured joy and wonder in their eyes.... I love your gallery. I'm amazed with what you do, and wish I had the abiltity to smudge color some colors around and make it look like something other than a blob of smudge colors.... I'm glad I found you here!
Georgy
