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!!)

Nice story. Fine presentation. The frustration of impending doom... 'What did I just do to myself?'... and then... with realization comes... 'Why today?'
Lary
YEP! Excellent presentation and POV!!!

Whatever you did and how you did it, the result was well worth it. You won't need us to remind you of what was right or wrong the kids will do that next time you tell them off :) Excellent!!!
Onslow

Super composite work here! .. love your colouring, and yes your frame is really coool (and I mean REALLY cool.. top class work!). You seem to constantly expand your artistic bounderies, that I extreemly fascinating. Yes I know what you mean about being an addict to a place like ReRo .. really strange how that can happen .. I mean, a virtual community, and yet it fills so much in each of our lives. But as Zacko also says, its so much fun! :-) Keep up your brilliant work.

the way I look at it, your only mistake was getting seen doing it. what they do not know will not hurt them. excellent capture and vote for your effort_V

Dear Kimarie, I am SO ashamed of you! How could you possibly do such a thing? Tsk, tsk! Didn't you ever learn anything about distractions? You had the kids with you use them! Have them keep the guard busy while you get your shots!!! Photography rule number one! ;-) A little while back one of our clients that owns some shopping malls wanted to do a total renovation of a big one. He and THE Boss set off in the clients jet to get some pictures of other malls for ideas for the architects. THE Boss, the client, and two other guys were taking pictures in the malls 52 malls across the country in five days! And after 9/11, if you start taking pictures like that, security is all over you. SO - Little Meredith got to tag along! The guys were really glad I came I never took a single picture, but boy oh boy was I good at distracting the guards big dewy innocent eyes couple of blouse buttons carelessly undone a tiny sliver of lace from Victorias Secret showing clicking stiletto heels and painted on skirt you get the picture! I probably talked to a hundred and fifty guards and not a one ever saw my face! And none of the guards ever knew the guys were even around! Hey a girls got to do what a girls got to do! And before anyone thinks poorly of the guys it was my idea! I do so love private jets and I figured the guys needed all the help they could get! SO always plan a distraction!!!! Love, Meredith
