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!!)

tibet2004uk
Now these are bright luminous colors! Maybe a tad too much saturation on this? Or maybe it's my comp but these colors don't look very natural to me! I really like the shot though, the POV and the subject! A beautiful capture!
Tedz
A fine photograph that invites one to follow the Eye!

looks beautiful, but doesn't look very photography! maybe hollywood is creating it's own worlds/perceptions but doesn't mean........nature isn't still better?! the hall in the background looks drawn on, sorry if this offends but tibet's right!:)

hehe i am so easygoing i dont get offended on here easily you can tell me andything and i can swallow it or learn from it - lol its why i am on here to learn and grow.. but i need to tell haig that I MOST CERTAINLY did not draw on the hall in the back ground .. i only smugded a bit of something in the way out but it was a very tiney part , this is all real.. and i only increased the saturation a slightbit ... hehe well i feel opions are what this is for and i appreciate them all .. it is my photgraphy ... no lie and i can prove it... :O) there was someone who didnt think my owl tree was real either but i sent her a hugefile to prove it .... I can stand on my word solid.. :O) thanks for your comments luv ya all ♥

love the shadowing upon the walk way.. and what seems to be a temple in the background.. lovely shot.:)

Wow, Kimmers ... I can appreciate your eye for photography. I love this. And I can agree that it must have been interesting to live in the 1800s West ... but as i see things now, that really wasn't so long ago. Anyway, much less government horse-hockey then. keep up the good work. Excellent photography.
soffy
