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!!)

beautiful work kimmers... he has such character in the expressive eyes, long beak & claws... & the moon seems to think so too :]
monoceroo
The expression of this owl is priceless. does he/she know something we don't? ... and the moon doesn't seem too concerned. What's with that? :-) Beautiful painstaking artwork Kim ... Excellent image. I love it!
diomedes66
I do believe that this is the most woeful owl I have ever seen :-) And it is most certainly the most delightful and excellent too! Exquisitely done!

Oh this is a superb painting!! I love the softness of the textures here and the bird's expression is fabulous!! Beautiful work!

Brilliant!! I love the look on his face!

Dear Kimarie, he does look sad, but then I think all owls have that sort of look about them some - so maybe he's really just "looking" sad. Realyl fanciful image and such a great job with your smudging! Owls have always been some of my favorites - and - i walked out on the balcony abotu a month ago and a barn owl was sitting on the railing!!! We just stood and stared at each other for several minutes, and then it spread those great muffled wings and casually sailed off into the night! The moon is a cute feature, too. You alwasy do such excellent work!!! Love, Meredith
tvernuccio

LOL! just the way they should be!!!! the tones in this are just incredible...so rich! yep...those eyes...sigh...they just draw you in a hold you like a magnetic!!!!!!! I'm really lovin' this one Kimmers!!!!!!!! and Freebird...oh girl, LUV that song! Lynard Skynard ROCKS!!!!

Cool and stunning style Kim, and the idea of painting/smudging on a photo so many times that this becomes something totally and cool artwork is a fantastic and original concept, I have to try that some day! Love this owl, how soft its feathers look and this expression on it's face! Cool play with lighting/shadow .. V

Great Style Kimmer...Always Enjoy Your Creativity....Magnificent Artwork!!avalonfaayre
Simply enchanting! He looks a little sad, I love the cartoon portrayal of the moon. It makes it seem like a story illustration. I agree with Digimon, you should illustrate childrens books.
anniemation
I'm always amazed everytime you upload something new. This is sooo neat, he does look sad and there's just something special about the image. Great job!
escafeld
Awwwwwwwh, poor fellow sitting under the moon all on his own :( You must find a sweetheart for this little guy he's so sad from lack of love. A really superb illustration Kim, one to be proud of!!!
