6A | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS Local phone book chooses art by Michael Wood for cover Pacific Publishing recent- ly selected a winning paint- ing for the cover of the 29th edition of Central Coast Connection. Florence’s lo- cally produced business di- rectory and phone book is being mailed this week to about 16,000 residents on the central coast. The painting was done by local and nationally-ac- claimed artist F. Michael (Mike) Wood and titled “Colorful Characters of the Waterfront.” Wood’s paint- ing was selected from a field of 30 entries from 15 artists in a contest coordinated by the Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA). Pacific Publishing in July issued a “Call to Artists” for artwork submissions that reflected the central coast locale (Yachats to Reed- sport and East to Dead- wood) for the cover of the 2020 Edition Central Coast Connection business direc- tory and phone book. Woods’ painting features a colorful rendering of the Old Town Florence river- side looking upriver. Wood received a cash prize of $500 for his winning entry. “We were thrilled with the number and qual- ity of entries,’’ said Jon Thompson, Central Coast Con-nection publisher. “We narrowed the competition to five finalists, all of which we thought had strong cov- er potential. We are always amazed at the level of talent in our community. And we appreciate the help and co- ordination we receive from FRAA.” Kristin Anderson, FRAA President, described the Local and nationally acclaimed artist Michael Wood (left), Pacific Publishing General Manager Patrick Looney and Sales Manager and co-owner Pam Thompson with the winning entry in Central Coast Connection cover contest.
