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!!)

lOvE sUnFlOweR !! Words of wisdom and I'm glad you left it in it's place.Time makes us all reflect to what once was,yet time pulls you to a differnt place that what you wish for...growing still,learning these new places --Enjoy this moment,before it fades -always seems to be a uphill climb-untill you look back.

Yes, it is still beautiful and infinitely interesting, even as it ages, for it has such depth and character and shows the struggle of life. A wonderful capture and your words are so true - we all have those feelings as the years show on the surface ... but the real beauty of who we are is still blooming inside. Keep making your beautiful art - for it touches the heart. Vote. :o) CC

Ahhh, I feel the same way! I have some sunflower seed to plant out, and perhaps I can get some photos of them as they mature, bloom, and slowly fade away. :) Excellent image.

What thoughts!!! Kimmie give never up, ever hold your head up!!! You are so importand for all this people here!! You have so much to give and believe a woman who is a lot older than you, every age hs something beautiful. May be the outer beauty fade away, but there are so many things you get for that. You are much more contempted, you have more time and you know things young people don't know. You see I'm in my age started studying! There is so much what is also wonderful when you are older!!! Lovely work and silly thoughts!!! Big Hug, Ute

Even though this is growing older to me it is more beautiful ... it has more texture and interest. The most important thing is to keep our heads high what ever happens. Excellent work
