Figure 8, a local group of
artists who paint or draw people
from life, is showing portraits at
the Siuslaw Public Library, 1460
Ninth St. in Florence, during the
month of October.
Figure 8 has been meeting
together twice a month for more
than 12 years. The group began
meeting at the old Jan Kunz
Studio, and since then has met at
various locations, including the
old Market Place Restaurant, and
churches.
Figure 8 is currently meeting
at Cross Roads Church, across
from the Siuslaw Public Library.
The membership has changed
over the years, but the group con-
tinues. Operating with a coordi-
nator, but no instructor, the
model is posed in one position
for 20 minutes at a time before
taking a five-minute break, then
returns to the same position.
Models are often members of the
Florence community, but some-
times are just an interesting
stranger who happened to pass
through.
Recorded instrumental music
usually plays in the background
while the group is in the process
of creating, but occasionally
music is provided by the model,
using guitar or keyboard.
While there is an established
membership of 8 people, there is
also a list of guest artists who
will be called if one of the regu-
lar members can’t make it.
Jan Woodford coordinates the
group, assisted by Virginia
Korosec and Karen Baylis, who
takes over if she cannot attend.
Other members whose work is
being displayed this year are
Jeanette
Frasca,
Timothy
Creager, Jan Landrum, Lola
Simpson and Nancy Walker.
Guest artists included Karen
Nichols and Patricia Ball.
This year’s show at the library,
“A Retrospective,” includes dis-
plays of works by past members.
The late Katheryn Davis, Bob
Kutch and Gunner Nelson were
longtime members of Figure 8.
Mary Kellis, also a longtime
member, is now retired and liv-
ing in her home in Florentine
Estates.
