A great success!
ESLC Plein Air 2025
Forever for Everyone
Eastern Shore Land Conservancy is extremely grateful for Plein Air Easton, Bruce Wiltse, Bill Davenport, and all of the artists, photographers, volunteers, and attendees who made last week’s plein air show, Forever for Everyone, such a marvelous success. A big congratulations to Nancy Tankersley for her beautiful first place painting, “It Begins Again,” and to second and third place winners Neal Hughes and Jason Sacran.
We are also immensely appreciative of artist Cynthia Rosen, for committing 20% of the sale of her painting, “Birdwatchers Paradise,” to Eastern Shore Land Conservancy! Cynthia’s gorgeous painting of Bohemia River State Park is a tribute to local wildlife, featuring eight accurately and thoughtfully researched local bird species like wood ducks, herons, and cormorants, and even a rookery nest lost within the trees. Purchased on the last day of the Plein Air Easton festival, Cynthia’s painting will now depict and support ESLC’s essential conservation work in more ways than one.
We couldn’t imagine a more captivating way to celebrate both ESLC’s 35 years of conservation and the essential Program Open Space funding that provides public access to nature throughout the state of Maryland, including the four parks illustrated in this year’s show: Bohemia River State Park, the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, Oxford Conservation Park, and Friendship Park in East New Market.
