Description

“Skating At The Bridge” by P. Buckley Moss is a delightful portrayal of winter joy and community gathering, set against the backdrop of the Hok Brucke, a famous wooden covered bridge in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Spanning the Cass River, this iconic bridge provides a beautiful and rustic frame for a scene filled with movement and life, as local residents take to the ice for a day of skating and play.

The bridge, lovingly detailed in Moss’s signature folk-art style, showcases its wooden architecture and the historic charm that makes it a beloved landmark in Frankenmuth. Adorned with a quaint American flag fluttering at one end, the bridge captures the nostalgic beauty of small-town America. A tall evergreen tree adds a festive touch to the winter landscape, symbolizing the season’s spirit.

In the foreground, friends and families skate across the frozen river, their figures rendered with Moss’s characteristic simplicity and charm. Clad in traditional winter attire, the skaters hold hands, twirl, and glide across the ice, creating a lively and heartwarming scene. The subtle colors and smooth brushwork evoke the crispness of a winter day, while the playful poses of the skaters convey a sense of joy and togetherness.

“Skating At The Bridge” celebrates both the natural beauty of winter and the warmth of community spirit. It’s a piece that captures the essence of a peaceful small-town winter, bringing nostalgia and the charm of simpler times to life. This rare print would be a cherished addition for collectors who appreciate scenes of Americana, winter landscapes, or Moss’s unique artistic style.
