Winter has a unique way of transforming the world into a peaceful, quiet landscape. As snow falls gently, the world slows down, and everything seems to pause in a blanket of white. This time of year has been a great source of inspiration for many artists, but few have captured the stillness and serenity of winter quite like P. Buckley Moss. Known for her iconic winter scenes, Moss poured her love for the season into her work, often painting from her art studio as the snow gently covered the world outside. The result is a stunning collection of winter landscapes that speak to the tranquility and beauty of the season, bringing a peaceful calm into our homes.
At Canada Goose Gallery, we are proud to showcase some of Moss’s most beloved pieces that capture this serene winter atmosphere. From snowy fields to quiet country barns, each painting invites us to slow down, reflect, and embrace the quiet moments of the season. In this blog post, we will explore four beautiful pieces from her collection: All is Calm, A Snowy Day, Blessed Peace Remarque, and Colonial Winter.
All is Calm
One of Moss’s most serene and reflective winter works, All is Calm, is a perfect example of her ability to capture the peaceful stillness of the season. In this artwork, Moss portrays a snowy landscape devoid of hustle and bustle. The quiet snowflakes fall gently on a tranquil field, and the soft hues of the sky reflect the calmness of the world. This piece evokes a sense of serenity and peace, reminding us to take a step back from the noise of everyday life and embrace the calm that comes with the winter months. It’s a perfect addition to any home, offering a sense of stillness that helps us to relax and reflect.
A Snowy Day
In A Snowy Day, Moss takes us to a classic winter scene: a snow-covered path leading toward a charming home nestled among the trees. The delicate shades of blue and white fill the canvas, capturing the coolness of the air and the softness of freshly fallen snow. The winding path invites viewers to imagine themselves walking through the snow, enjoying the quiet beauty of a snowy day. The surrounding trees, their branches heavy with snow, add to the serene atmosphere, evoking a sense of peace and wonder that only winter can bring. This piece is a celebration of the simple pleasures of winter and a perfect reminder to appreciate the quiet beauty that surrounds us during the colder months.
Blessed Peace Remarque
Another stunning winter piece by Moss, Blessed Peace Remarque, is a beautiful depiction of the calm that comes with the season. The artwork features a snowy landscape with an inviting path that leads to a cozy home. What sets this piece apart is the special remarque feature—a hand-drawn sketch on the lower margin of the print, adding a personal touch to each piece. The tranquil colors of the snow-covered landscape are perfectly complemented by the delicate details of the remarque, which bring a sense of intimacy and warmth to the piece. Blessed Peace Remarque is a stunning representation of the peacefulness of winter, offering viewers a glimpse into a quiet world where nature and home come together in perfect harmony.
Colonial Winter
Colonial Winter is another beautiful example of Moss’s ability to capture the charm of the season. The artwork depicts a colonial-style home surrounded by snow-covered trees and a quiet, frozen pond. The warm tones of the building contrast beautifully with the cool blues and whites of the winter landscape, creating a sense of balance and tranquility. The scene is peaceful and inviting, offering a glimpse into a world where the hustle and bustle of life slow down, and everything is at rest. Moss’s use of light and shadow brings the scene to life, making it feel as though you could step right into the painting and experience the quiet winter world for yourself.
