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!!)

Very nice paint and story Kimmie. The dragon is so cute. Looks like if he was not holding on to something he would blow himself over as he is blowing the fire. :-)

What an imagination you have! I love the fiery little dragonette. Outstanding work all around. I hope we see more of this tale. I'd love to see how he tames the unruly one!

Fabulous hand painting with a real marvellous color setting! The male with his long beautiful blond hair looks wonderful! Also the alive plant with the green eyes is fantastic! What I real love is that you gave both of them the same eye color! Splendid work! V

This one really shows how talented you are, and that you master both painting/smudging from photoreference (which seem to be a fantastic practice to see how light/shadow/coloring should be), ... and you also master painting free hand, and using your imagination. I LOVE that! Wonderful composition, flaming haircolouring, beautiful eye, such a cute little dragon, and the fire smoke and sparks. Cool and original style you have! Excellent work *V

OMG...you are amazing! You have developed a style that is definitely all your own and brilliantly unique. I ususally sit here for some time and just stare at each line and how well acomplished you are at blending and highlight. This pic is full of magic and wonder. It doesn't get much better than this.

Dear Kimarie, this is a really cute picture, as is your story. The little dragon is absolutely darling! And your knight is very bewithing himself! I really love your "smudge painting" and I know how hard that it to do well. I have enough trouble just doing a few touchups!! Really Excellent work! Love, Meredith
