Photographer’s notes: Here is Max, a German shepherd, and Alyson. Max stayed with us at Click to Zen Canine Behavioral Services for training while his rescue searched for a foster home. He was going to be put to sleep in a shelter in Brooklyn. Here he enjoys pulling Alyson on a sled. He loved pulling people on skis, a kick sled and mountain boards. He eventually found a foster home and was adopted.

Date: December 2012
Photographer’s notes: I took a trip to Black Pond, just outside of Henderson. The road and path were not plowed and the snow was fresh with no footprints. While walking I was blown away at the brilliant sun shining through the trees and the untouched path in front of me.

‘Dark Island resident’

July 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Lynne Reichhart, Westernville

DATE: 2010
MEDIA: Acrylic on canvas
SIZE: 11 inches by 14 inches
ARTIST’S NOTES:  “I took my parents on a tour of Singer Castle for their anniversary and was inspired by the grandeur of it. I loved the contrast of the colorful stone and the red roofing. The day was spectacular, which added wonderful light and shadow to the view. The perspective further enhanced the magnificence. I grew up in the Thousand Islands and want to do more artwork of the area.”
