A white peacock opens its feathers for only a few seconds at a time, but Darlene O'Leary, of Ormond Beach, was ready.
O'Leary's photography was on display, along with art by about 100 other artists, Nov. 13-14, at the second-annual One Daytona Art Festival, a fine art show coinciding with Welcome to Rockville Festival at Daytona International Speedway.
O’Leary takes photos from St. Augustine to New Smyrna Beach, specializing in animals.
Another local artist, Joy Kronseder, of Port Orange, has a massive sea glass collection that inspires her art.
“We’re very encouraged by the success and support from our community," Lesa Kennedy, owner of One Daytona's Gallery500, in a press release. "Artists and vendors were excited to come back and participate, making this a sold out art festival. We’re enthusiastic about our future in 2022."
Eight artists competed for best in show, and the winner was Jacksonville's Bill Slade, who won $1,500.
“I’m delighted to see this quality of show," Harry Messersmith, a judge from DeLand, in a press release. “This festival has a great future."
