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!!)

tears oh Kimmers...i'm so sorry for what you've been going through and wish i could be there to help take care of you. sometimes you just need to let people give to YOU!!!! if i were there, i would make you all your favorite foods and read you stories. You'd be up to your ears in popcorn!!!!!!! :) or we could watch movies all day! that's what friends are for. instead, all i can do is sit here and type you a message and feel totally helpless. i'll be praying for you...now just rest and let yourself be taken care of as much as you can. your image is calming and peaceful...it's a beautiful place to sit and think. take care of yourself PLEASE!!!! luv, hugz, and prayers...sheila

Wow Kimmers, excellent shot ... it appears that you have the knack for night photography. I'm sorry to read that you're having health issues ... You're in my thoughts and prayers. Wonderful image -- love the composition and, especially, love the lighting. Hugs and take care.

It is hard to nail the night shots down. Have to always keep it on a tripod or a stable suface and ease the shutter down if not remote.Your colours here look nice.The reflections just go so good here.This would also look a bit sharper if darker.Might lose some grain in the sky that way. Get lots of rest and do things one day at a time.
