“Hiking the Bury towns” Paintings by David Zinni
David Zinni is a longtime Southbury resident who began painting in 2018 after retiring from a career as a mechanical engineer. Always interested in painting, the opportunity to pursue the art came with his retirement. With no formal art education and a little studio training from local artists, Dave began working with acrylics and later oils. Dave’s technical background and love of nature led him to create realistic paintings with great detail. He finds his inspiration from the beauty of local landscapes, seascapes and wildlife. His works are based his own photography while hiking the local parks and land preserves. The exhibit is a collection of local landscapes and birds based on his many hikes and walks through scenic Southbury, Woodbury and Middlebury. His art has been featured in Southbury Makers Spotlight, at Southbury Library, Naugatuck’s Whitmore library and several charity auctions.
