davd hendricks -- "popham beach sunset" (1984)
"popham beach is the beach that my family always visited during my childhood" … beth comeau (natural resources council of maine)
"'popham beach sunset', is a marvel of colored pencil done in large scale, atypical of a medium which lends itself to small detail and size. hendricks deftly creates a striking, unified image, built of thousands of small colored pencil marks. within these marks he captures the golden hour’s last strong bursts of sunlight, the moment when land is on the precipice of shifting into inky blackness against the sky" … boise art museum
"higher than the sounds you're singing higher than the sleeping cities far above steeples and chimneys rollercoasters and lighthouses far below where they're asleep dreaming i remember treading water popham beach, broken sand dollars afternoon in greenwood garden" … anna "nesey" gallons
"popham beach is the beach that my buddy dan davis always brings me down to visit when we are up in maine … but ssshhh--don't tell anyone … we want it all to ourselves" … al janik
