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!!)

This is amazing, my dear one....and now you've given us all a place to come and reflect whenever we need to. This simple shot has such a calm and quiet beauty as the sunlight makes prism rainbows on the floor. You've captured a place of hope, warmth, and light. It's lovely and we're so lucky you choose to share your visions with us. Thank-you once again for another moment of beauty. VOTE Please take care of yourself....stay off the computer and get yourself well. Sending extra hugs and thoughts your way~~~~ Web

Dear Kimarie, take care of the tooth!!!! That can be VERY dangerous! Those are really nasty infections and can affect a whole lot of other things much worse than just a tooth. Stay on the antibiotics until you have taken all of them - even if the pain goes away, finish the entire series! And now "Momma" Meredith will shut up and get back to the business at hand. This is a lovely picture and it is so enhanced by the emotionly display you have for this place. It's become a special place for you - as you have become a special person for us! Remember that your father is really in you heart and in your thought and can never be away from you. Beautiful photography, beautiful thoughts, and excellent work!!! Love, Meredith

What is the saying - "Let not your heart be troubled." Easier said than done. I think you have worked some of your emotions out with this delightful image. A really superb piece of artwork!!! Get well soon, Dave

I think back when my GrandMother had past away, we were very close, as she was the one who had raised me, when she died i was living out of state, and I think about how scared I was to drive up there to go to the furneal, why i was so scared i don't know, I guess it was just the reality of it all, and how the last 5 years of her life I was away from her........but anyway very Bueatiful painting, and hopefuly you will find peace now , from what ever kept you away from your fathers grave, our prayers are with you, and take care of that tooth my friend..........V.....John
