Bowl of Plenty by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

“Bowl of Plenty” by beloved American artist P. Buckley Moss is a radiant celebration of abundance and the simple joys of everyday life. At the heart of this limited edition print is a beautifully arranged still life: bananas, pears, oranges, and a cucumber rest gracefully in a pedestal bowl, their organic forms contrasted against a softly geometric background. The warm gradient hues of pink, lavender, and turquoise bring energy and harmony, while the strong shapes of the fruit highlight Moss’s ability to infuse folk-inspired simplicity with modern design.

Moss often draws inspiration from the themes of family, nourishment, and gratitude. “Bowl of Plenty” captures these ideas with vivid symbolism — the overflowing fruit becomes a metaphor for prosperity, health, and the richness of shared meals. Whether you see this work as a reminder of everyday beauty or a symbol of spiritual abundance, it resonates with a timeless message of gratitude.

Style & Technique

True to her distinctive style, P. Buckley Moss blends folk art sensibilities with a touch of modernist influence. The bold outlines and simplified shapes lend the artwork a clean, graphic quality, while the pastel washes of pinks, purples, yellows, and greens create softness and depth. The play of light and color across the background evokes a sense of early morning calm or evening glow, enhancing the timeless character of the composition.

The limited edition print is a fine example of Moss’s ability to take something as ordinary as a bowl of fruit and elevate it into a poetic meditation on beauty and abundance. Each piece carries the hand-signed authenticity of the artist herself, ensuring that every collector receives not only a work of art but also a personal connection to Moss’s vision.
