Description

A Due Painting by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

A Due Painting by P. Buckley Moss is a serene and elegantly composed original watercolor painting that reflects Moss’s poetic connection to nature. Belonging to both the Moss Painting Collection and the Moss Bird Collection, this exquisite piece features a single bird perched delicately upon a bare branch, rendered in warm tones of amber, russet, and soft gray.

With minimal brushstrokes, Moss captures the quiet grace of the moment — the stillness between songs, the calm presence of life amid winter’s simplicity. The subtle balance between the bird’s vibrant chest and the whisper-thin twigs reveals Moss’s mastery of restraint, composition, and emotion.

This hand-signed original was used to create a limited edition print by the same name, making it an important part of Moss’s body of work and a rare opportunity for collectors to own the painting that inspired an edition loved by many.

Style & Technique

Moss’s watercolor style is unmistakable: fluid yet controlled, minimal yet deeply expressive. In A Due Painting, her use of negative space and fine linear branches gives the subject room to breathe, allowing the orange and black hues of the bird to take center stage. The delicate washes of color convey transparency and light — hallmarks of Moss’s unique folk-realism style.

Mood & Inspiration

The title A Due Painting suggests harmony — a duet between nature and art, silence and sound. The lone bird represents peace and mindfulness, a quiet companion to the viewer’s inner stillness. Moss often drew inspiration from the natural rhythms of the Virginia countryside and her lifelong admiration for birds as symbols of freedom and faith.
