Christmas at Home by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Christmas at Home is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss, part of her Christmas Collection and her Two Boys Four Girls Collection. This heartwarming winter scene celebrates the traditions of family, community, and the joy of coming together during the holiday season.

The composition centers on a festive horse-drawn carriage, decorated with a large holiday wreath and filled with children bundled together in warmth and cheer. Behind them, a snow-covered Victorian-style home glows with Christmas spirit, adorned with garlands, bows, and holiday decorations. Another carriage makes its way along the snowy lane, reinforcing the sense of gathering and seasonal festivity.

Moss captures both the stillness of a winter evening and the excitement of Christmas traditions, reminding us of the beauty of family bonds and community celebrations.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s signature folk art style, Christmas at Home is painted with soft winter hues of lavender, blue, and snowy white, creating a peaceful yet festive atmosphere. The red accents in the wreath and house decorations add a joyful contrast, bringing warmth to the winter palette. The circular framing enhances the nostalgic, snow-globe-like quality, making the viewer feel as though they are peeking into a treasured holiday memory.

The lithograph’s balanced composition, with children in the foreground and the historic home behind, reflects Moss’s deep love for American traditions, both rural and architectural. The children’s presence, grouped as part of her Two Boys Four Girls Collection, adds a sense of innocence and harmony.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Christmas at Home is nostalgic, festive, and heartwarming. It evokes the anticipation of family gatherings, sleigh rides, and the comfort of returning home during the holidays. Inspired by her deep Christian faith and appreciation for simple joys, Moss infused her Christmas works with both spiritual reverence and childlike wonder.

This lithograph captures the essence of Moss’s art: a celebration of family, tradition, and the enduring warmth of community, even in the cold of winter.
