P. Buckley Moss FAQ

Welcome to the P. Buckley Moss FAQ page at Canada Goose Gallery where we will answer your most frequently asked questions about collecting art. 

Are you sure you’re comfortable buying from garage sales and unknown sellers on ebay? Here’s some food for thought and why you should be very cautious when buying more valuable artwork from a source other than a certified P. Buckley Moss Gallery

When you buy P Buckley Moss art you are buying a limited edition art print 99% of the time. P Buckley Moss limited edition art is more valuable than art printed in volume quantities by unknown artists. If you are making a Moss purchase, you want to know that your purchase will hold its value and perhaps become a print that is sought after and increases in value. Do you know if what you are buying at garage and yard sales has real value? Are the colors original or have they faded? Are the mats over the artwork acid-free and archival? Is there UV Protectant glass on the framed piece and is there tape on the print or has it been cut or dry mounted before being put in that frame? If you are not sure of all of these points don’t consider making a purchase without professional advice. When you buy from our collections, we guarantee mint condition prints, never framed or exposed to harmful light and if the print has been framed we always use UV Glass and don’t ever tape the print to the matting. We always use archival backing boards but often find pieces that have been framed elsewhere fall short of recommended conservation practices. We find some limited edition art prints are even backed with acidic cardboard. Nothing damages paper like the acids in products that are not approved for preservation. The print you are paying for may one day be the most valuable print released by American artist P Buckley Moss. Wouldn’t it be devastating to find out that what you paid for was a faded, damaged piece that you could not re-sell for the escalated current value? Here is the golden rule to follow: The value of art is determined by the quality of the care. Consult a professional for advice.

VISITING THE GALLERY
Where are you located?

Our gallery is located in Waynesville, Ohio, a small village in southwest Ohio which was part of the early settlement of the state of Ohio. Waynesville was on the accommodation line which was a route the stagecoaches took when traveling across the country to destinations in the west. The “Stagecoach Stop” is still standing today and is owned by individuals and used as a private residence.

Our merchant area was started with one person’s idea of opening an antique store on a corner of Main Street. That idea was followed by three others which lead to all four corners in the main intersection having a retail stores. Stores carrying different merchandise started popping up along the street and today there are four blocks of retail shops, restaurants and two Bed and Breakfast establishments maintaining businesses in the original buildings from the 1800’s. A number of stores have also developed on sides streets as well. It’s an interesting walk through our business district as you walk between store fronts and it’s a true step-back-in-time experience as you observe the different window displays and historic buildings.

Is there parking close by?

We have on the street parking only in our quaint little village of Waynesville.

Where is the nearest parking garage?

Nothing that resembles big city living like a parking garage will be available in our little village. However, we make up for the lack of big city entities with charm and our Step-back-in-time atmosphere.

What are your hours?

Canada Goose Gallery is open every day except Mondays.

Tuesday-Friday 10:30am-5:00pm

Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm

Sunday 12:00pm-5:00pm

Is the Gallery available for private event rentals?

A private event in the gallery is not something we have done before, but bring us your ideas and we will consider trying something new. Everyone loves an event and what more inspiring than an art event?

Can the Gallery appraise my artwork or artifacts?

We consider ourselves experts in the works of American artist, P Buckley Moss. Her art is the reason we opened our gallery, and although we appreciate all forms of art and collectables we are not experts in the works of other artists and are not qualified to give an official appraisal of any art. However, we are always available to have a conversation about the works of Pat Moss.

I’m an artist. Can I send you information about my work?

At this time, we have not completed a plan for incorporating other artists’ works into our inventory. We do have four to five street faire events each year in Waynesville, June-September, where artists are invited to set up and show their art for sale to the public. Consider signing up for booth space.            Waynesville Shops 

Are large bags permitted on site?

We do not have objections to your bringing large bags into our gallery, but realize that having to watch after such items could be cumbersome while you are browsing and enjoying our art displays and inventory.

We have posted images that are available to us. Some images of older works are not as clear and appear fuzzy, but we are in the process of fixing those images to better represent the art.  If you are interested or have questions about any specific image and want to speak with us about your questions or concerns, we are always available to assist.  We have tried to post an accurate description of each art piece as well. We all make mistakes, but feel our information is accurate to the best of our knowledge. Call with questions and we can confirm information on any piece on our site.

How accurate are the item dimensions listed on your web site?

All of the dimensions listed on our site should be very accurate. We have listed image sizes for lithographs as well as paper sizes. Giclee images are listed with image sizes only as they are often printed one at a time and the actual paper size may vary. We are in the process of adding all sizes as well as more informaiton on each Original watercolor are listed on the site that are available in our gallery. The value of a watercolor is determined in part by the brush strokes and how far they extend horizontally and vertically per each piece. The blank paper space is not really a consideration in determining the image size.

How do I know if a particular piece of art is signed by the artist?

If it is a signed and numbered edition prior to being published in mid 1984 the piece of art has a hand signed “Moss” on the image. After mid 1984 going forward prints were signed by a matrix of the P Buckley Moss signature.   All Moss original works, Remarques and Etchings that came to our gallery prior to 2024n are hand signed by Moss.

We are happy to frame art purchased elsewhere and are available to work with you on choices for any piece of art.

P. Buckley Moss FAQ: Understanding Art Prints.

An art print is a high-quality reproduction of an original piece of artwork. Unlike mass-produced posters, art prints in a gallery setting are typically created using specialized methods that capture the detail, color, and texture of the artist’s original vision. For P. Buckley Moss, these reproductions allow her storytelling and imagery to reach a wider audience while maintaining the integrity of her signature style.

These are the pinnacle of any collection. Every original watercolor is a one-of-a-kind masterwork painted by Pat’s own hand. These pieces show the direct brushstrokes and delicate transitions of color that only a hand-painted work can provide, making them unique investments for serious collectors.

Etchings are considered “original prints.” Pat creates the image by hand-scratching a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed into heavy watercolor paper. Because each one is hand-pulled, they have a beautiful, tactile texture and a soft, classic quality that is distinct from other printing methods.

Also known as serigraphs, silkscreens are created by pressing ink through a fine mesh screen onto paper or fabric. This process allows for thick, vibrant layers of color and a distinct texture that you can actually feel. Because each color requires a separate screen and a manual pull, silkscreen editions are often smaller and highly valued for their bold, graphic impact.

A Remarque is a true “collector’s gem.” It is a small, original drawing that Pat hand-paints or sketches directly onto the border of a limited edition print. This essentially turns a numbered print into a unique, one-of-a-kind hybrid. Because a Remarque is created by the artist’s hand after the printing process is finished, it significantly adds to the personal and financial value of the artwork.

P. Buckley Moss Canvas Prints offer a unique, modern way to experience Pat’s work. These pieces are produced using a high-end giclée printing process where millions of vivid ink droplets are applied directly to a premium canvas substrate rather than paper. This method perfectly captures the texture and “explosion of color” found in her original paintings. One of the greatest benefits of a canvas print is its versatility; they can be placed in a traditional frame without the need for glass. This allows the viewer to enjoy the art without the glare of reflections, making the colors appear even deeper and more lifelike. Or, they can be matted and framed with glass enabling you to protect the artwork and still enjoy the canvas texture you will not find in a paper print.

These unique editions capture the raw, spontaneous energy of Pat’s initial creative process. Often rendered in black and white or with minimal color, sketch prints highlight the “storytelling” lines of her compositions—from quiet Amish moments to delicate nature scenes. They offer a more intimate look at the artist’s hand and are a favorite among collectors who appreciate the simplicity and elegance of her draftsmanship.

  • P. Buckley Moss Giclée Prints:

A Giclée (pronounced zhee-klay) is a modern, high-definition digital print. Using millions of tiny ink droplets on archival paper, this process produces the most vibrant colors and sharpest details possible. They are highly durable and capture the “explosion” of color found in Pat’s more contemporary works.

  • P. Buckley Moss Lithographs:

These are traditional limited edition prints created through a photographic process. Historically, this was the primary way Pat’s work was shared with collectors. They are known for their smooth finish and are a staple of long-standing Moss collections.

A limited edition is a reproduction of an original work that is restricted to a specific, predetermined number of copies. Each piece is individually numbered (e.g., 1/25) and typically hand-signed by the artist. Once the last print in the edition is sold, the image is “retired,” meaning no further copies will ever be produced in that format. This scarcity is what drives the long-term value and collectability of the work.

  • Open Edition Prints:

Unlike limited editions, open edition prints do not have a capped number of copies and are not typically numbered. While they are created with the same high-quality standards as other gallery works, they are intended to be more accessible and stay in production as long as there is demand. These are excellent for decorative purposes or for those just beginning their journey into the world of P. Buckley Moss art.

When a limited edition sells out completely from the publisher, it enters “Retired” status and is only available on the secondary market. These Rare Prints are highly coveted because their supply is fixed while demand continues to grow. We specialize in locating these “sold-out” treasures in mint condition, ensuring they have been preserved using archival methods to protect their historical and financial value.

 

What is the difference between a Hand-Signed and a Matrix-Signed print?

Collectors often ask about the artist’s signature, as it is a primary mark of authenticity. From the beginning of her career until mid-1984, every P. Buckley Moss Limited Edition Print was personally hand-signed by Pat Moss. After mid-1984, to accommodate the growth of her audience, edition signatures were transitioned to a protected matrix of her hand-script, which is applied during the printing process and personally approved by her.

However, Canada Goose Gallery is proud to offer an extensive selection of truly hand-signed treasures. Because Pat has visited our gallery for numerous shows over the decades, we have a significant inventory of Hand-Signed Canvas Prints and modern editions that she signed in person for us. Additionally, many of our older consigned prints come from private collections where original owners attended shows and had Pat personally sign the work for their private collections. Whether it is an early retirement piece or a modern work signed during a gallery event, a hand-signed piece represents a direct, personal connection to the artist herself.

P. Buckley Moss FAQ: Professional Custom Framing

Do you offer custom framing for P. Buckley Moss art?

Yes, Canada Goose Gallery provides full-service custom framing on-site. We believe that if a piece of art is worth owning, it is worth preserving. We use only the highest quality frame moldings and strictly adhere to conservation framing techniques. This means every component used in our process—from the acid-free matting to the archival backing boards—is 100% acid-free and lignin-free. We also offer specialized UV-protective glass to prevent the delicate colors of your P. Buckley Moss prints from fading over time. By using these museum-quality supplies, we ensure that your artwork remains in mint condition, preventing the yellowing or “burning” often caused by non-archival materials found in standard frames.

P. Buckley Moss FAQ: Framing Verification Checklist

Many collectors are unaware that standard framing materials used years ago can actually deteriorate paper over time. At Canada Goose Gallery, we recommend checking your collection for these three “red flags” of improper framing:

  • Mat Burn: Look at the cut edge of the matboard where it meets the print image. If you see a brown or yellow tinted line, your mats are likely not acid-free and are “burning” the paper.

  • Fading: Compare the colors of your print to an area that has been hidden under the mat. If the exposed colors look “washed out” or shifted toward blue/grey, you likely do not have UV-protective glass or have glass that should have been replaced due to hanging in an area that may have been exposed to a period of direct sunlight.

  • Corrugated Backing: If you can feel the “ridges” of cardboard through the back of the frame, your print is in direct contact with highly acidic material.

If you notice any of these issues, contact us at 513-897-4348. We specialize in “rescue framing”—carefully removing art from harmful environments and remounting it using 100% archival, acid-free matting and conservation techniques to stop further damage.

P. Buckley Moss Ornaments: Porcelain Collectibles

What are P. Buckley Moss Ornaments and how should they be displayed?

P. Buckley Moss Ornaments are delicate porcelain discs featuring a wide array of Pat’s most beloved imagery. Each design is meticulously applied to the porcelain and fired to ensure a lasting, high-gloss finish. While many collectors begin their journey by using them as elegant holiday decor, these pieces have evolved into year-round “miniature masterpieces.”

Because of their intricate detail and smaller scale, they are perfect for:

  • Custom Framing: We often frame these in deep “shadowbox” style frames to create a three-dimensional wall display.

  • Easel Display: Small brass or acrylic easels allow you to feature these on mantels, bookshelves, or desks.

  • Gifts: They serve as the perfect entry-level collectible for new fans of P. Buckley Moss art.

At Canada Goose Gallery, we carry a vast inventory of current and retired ornaments, including rare dated editions that mark significant milestones in the artist’s career.

P. Buckley Moss Art Quilts: Rare Collaborative Masterworks

What makes P. Buckley Moss Art Quilts so unique?

These rare wall hangings represent a beautiful fusion of fine art and traditional American craft. Each piece begins with a center image hand-painted by P. Buckley Moss directly onto fabric. These centers are then sent to master quilters from across the country who volunteer their time and skill to design and stitch intricate, coordinated borders.

Originally created as one-of-a-kind items for the P. Buckley Moss Foundation for Children’s annual raffles, these pieces are highly sought after because they are hand-signed by both Pat Moss and the master quilter. Canada Goose Gallery currently has two of these rare treasures available:
