Pacific Publishing Phone Book Cover contest selects F. Michael Wood
Pacific Publishing selected a
winning painting for the cover
of the 2018 Central Coast
Connection phone book.
The painting was done by
local and nationally acclaimed
artist F. Michael (Mike) Wood.
Wood’s painting was select-
ed from a field of 30 entries
from 15 artists.
“We were very impressed
with the quality and number of
entries we received, and sin-
cerely thank all the artists for
participating,” said Patrick
Looney, Pacific Publishing
general manager.
The local company produces
the Florence Business
Directory and phone book,
titled Central Coast
Connection.
The book with the winning
entry featured on its cover will
be mailed in early September to
18,000 households and busi-
nesses in Florence, Mapleton,
Reedsport and Yachats.
Wood’s winning entry was
chosen by a panel of three for
its local, colorful and playful
scene.
“Once selected, we were
pleased to find out it was sub-
mitted by one of Florence’s
highly regarded painters,” said
Looney.
“We are really pleased to add
Michael Wood to the list of
local artists whose work has
been featured on the cover of
the book.”
The phone book is known for
its iconic covers, which have
alternately featured a local
painting or photo for the past
two decades.
“I’m an impressionist which,
to put it simply, is painting sim-
ply,” said Wood.
Wood emphasizes emo-
tional content and mood,
light and shadow in his
paintings, while merely
suggesting detail in a man-
ner which makes it con-
vincing to the eye.
“Impressionism’s goal
is to translate the complex
into simple language that
will be eagerly and easily
read and understood, not
by the mind, but by the
heart,” he said.

Wood, and view many of
his paintings, go to www

Wood also teaches
classes at the Florence
Regional Arts Alliance
(FRAA) on Wednesday
afternoons from 1:30 to
4:30 p.m.
FRAA, which organ-
ized the contest for Pacific
Publishing, is located at
120 Maple St.
