Artist shows appreciation for historical preservation.

A reproduction of a painting called, “South of Timacuan” was presented to the city of Ormond Beach by artist Barry Barnett at the recent City Commission meeting. Suzanne Heddy, executive director of the Ormond Beach Historical Society, told the commissioners that Barnett, who lived in Ormond Beach as a child, wanted to show appreciation for the city’s commitment to preserving history.

“It’s an honor to support the Ormond Beach Historical Society,” he said. “I love history.”

The painting depicts an eagle trying to steal a fish from an osprey. Barnett will have a one-man show at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building on Feb. 27 and 28.
