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!!)

Dear Kimarie, this is so touching! I can symphathize with him - to this very day. I love to ski and don't get to do it very often - and when I do get a chance for a day or two, it's always so sad to get back on the airplane and head back to Texas' "Summertime" winters. We get an inch of snow (maybe) once a decade! But - spring and summer will bring their own joys - and the snow will be back next years!!! Excellent work, my very talented friend!!!!! Love, Meredith

What an oustandingly well crafted image ... you've done exceedingly well. BTW, I purchased a Wacom table last year directly from their reconditioned stock ... at a really good price. You may wish to check out the Wacom website. And again, I think you do outstanding work. I'm awed.
SophiaDeer
How sweet!! Only children and skiers miss the snow, lol. Excellent!

diomedes66
What a delightful image! You captured well the wonder of the young - mysterious event, snow vanishing. Most excellent! V
hewee
So very touching Kimmer. I can see and feel the boy being sad. Wish you the best for your kids and getting the things you like to have too as I know having a new camera, PC and best of all a Wacom tablet will be a great thing for you to have.

WOW Kim...this is one incredible work... When I was younger my parents would flood our backyard into a hockey rink... I think some of our backyard games were more intense then game 7 of a NHL Stanley Cup final...!!! At age 51 I still play recreational hockey but the magic of that backyard rink is a fond memory I will forever cherish... I too would cry when the backyard rink started to melt..Nowadays I cringe at the thought of winter and how I love summer... Hockey is now an indoor all-year-round sport thanks to technology... This is fantastic work Kim...has a Norman Rockwell appeal to it...VOTE

he he .. thanks for the story about the paintbrush :-) Yeah, it takes some time getting used to a Wacom (I have not achievet that yet, but everytime I take the time it is just wonderful what you can do with it compared to a mouse .. particulary the fact that it is pressure sensitive). I think you should take that step if you at all have the possibility (also to avoid possible future "mouse/hand injury"). This picture you made here is just wonderful .. so expressive a little face. Cool background you made also! Excellent work! V

This is fantastic. Another excellent artwork. I'm impressed.

Terrific expression of wonder and anguish! I'm mourning the loss of the snow cover myself and can sympathize completely, spring is OK but brings all kinds of things, noise, dirt, bugs, dead animals dragged into the house, etc. that winter always conceals and muffles. Excellent work, love the story as well as the image. The only paint brush I'm any good with is a 2" angle brush, got any trim that needs painting around the house?
