Adirondacks Seasons Old as Time: The Art of Michael C. Ringer

144 pp. A collection of color reproductions of paintings by the artist best known for his work focusing on the Thousand Islands, where he has a gallery. "In the third collection of his work, artist Michael Ringer leaves the St. Lawrence River temporarily and shows us his version of the Adirondack Mountains. There is no question that Ringer is in awe of the mountains. No sanitized or romanticized views here; through his eyes we see an ancient wilderness, characterized by rugged terrain, unspoiled lakes and peaks that stand as silent sentinels, witness to centuries of evolution in this special place."
