Paintings by Dick Zimmer

Dick Zimmer, resident of Haydenville’s former Penrose Inn B&B will show his paintings through the month of June at the Meekins Library.

Zimmer who retired in 2005 as President of Stevens Polyurethane for JPS Elastomerics, has traveled to all 7 continents, all 50 states and 70 countries.

Zimmer started sketching animals during early childhood, moved on to watercolor scenery, then found acrylics the best medium for his work. Dick’s arthritic hands make writing difficult, yet he’s still painting, and says, “It’s never too late to get started!”

There will be an artist’s reception on June 21, from 1 – 4pm.
