Amazing Grace Painting by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Amazing Grace Painting by P. Buckley Moss is the hand-signed, one-of-a-kind original watercolor that served as the source for the beloved print edition of the same name. This significant work belongs to the Moss Painting Collection, the Moss Church Collection, and the Moss Historic Landmark Collection.

The composition depicts the methodist church in Waynesville, Ohio, an historic red-brick with tall windows and a central tower, lovingly rendered with Moss’s signature folk-art charm. A path leads directly to its arched doorway, flanked by glowing lamp posts and framed by trees, creating a warm and inviting sense of welcome. At the bottom of the artwork, Moss inscribed words of faith: “Go forth, to love and serve the Lord! Amazing Grace.” This inscription transforms the painting into not only a visual treasure but also a spiritual reflection.

As the source artwork for the Amazing Grace edition, this original watercolor holds unmatched importance. It will be officially registered in the buyer’s name through Canada Goose Gallery with P. Buckley Moss Distribution, ensuring authenticity and provenance.

Style & Technique

Moss uses her hallmark gentle lines and washes of watercolor to give life to the historic church. Warm red tones dominate the architecture, while soft greens and blues suggest serenity in the surrounding landscape. The balance between the enduring structure and the tender handling of light conveys reverence and grace.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Amazing Grace Painting is peaceful, reverent, and uplifting. Churches are a recurring theme in Moss’s body of work, often representing faith, resilience, and community. Here, paired with her handwritten blessing, the painting becomes both a symbol of spiritual devotion and an artwork of historic charm.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This piece is ideally placed in a living room, entryway, study, or prayer space, where its themes of faith and heritage can be most appreciated.

As a gift, Amazing Grace Painting is a profoundly meaningful choice for church communities, clergy, or anyone whose faith and heritage are central to their lives. As the original behind a popular Moss edition, it carries not only beauty but also deep spiritual resonance.

The Magic of Owning an Original Artwork

There is something undeniably powerful about standing before an original work of art. Every brushstroke, every layer of paint, every subtle detail carries the hand, heart, and intention of the artist. Unlike a print, which can be duplicated and shared, an original is one-of-a-kind: a singular creation that exists nowhere else in the world.

To own an original is to hold the very moment of its creation, to feel the presence of the artist, and to experience the depth, texture, and energy that can never be fully captured in reproduction.

An original artwork is more than decoration; it is a legacy piece. It carries prestige, value, and a story that becomes part of your own. Collectors often describe the experience as intimate, a relationship with the artist and their vision, while also knowing they are investing in culture, creativity, and something that will endure
