Christmas by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Christmas by P. Buckley Moss is a 2007 Limited, Numbered, Lithograph Edition, from the P. Buckley Moss Christmas Collection and the P. Buckley Moss Geese Collection. This heartwarming holiday composition blends rustic charm with festive elegance, capturing the quiet beauty of the Christmas season through Moss’s beloved countryside imagery.

At the center of Christmas, two graceful geese stand facing one another in front of a softly decorated evergreen tree. Their black necks curve gently inward, forming a subtle heart-like shape between them. The geese’s warm rust-colored bodies contrast beautifully against the green of the Christmas tree, creating a visually harmonious palette that feels both natural and celebratory.

The evergreen tree stands tall and simple, adorned with delicate garland and crowned by a glowing golden star. Snow-like white accents dust the branches, evoking a peaceful winter setting. The minimal background allows the central imagery to shine, giving the piece a clean and timeless aesthetic.

In her art, Moss captures the essence of the holiday season—not through elaborate scenes, but through symbolism. The tree represents faith and celebration. The star symbolizes hope and guidance. The paired geese suggest companionship, loyalty, and warmth during the winter months.

Style & Technique

Christmas, Limited Edition Lithograph showcases P. Buckley Moss’s signature American folk art style, characterized by elongated forms, gentle linework, and a carefully balanced color palette. The lithograph process preserves the soft blending of color in the geese’s feathers and the subtle shading within the tree.

The curved necks of the geese introduce movement and tenderness, while the triangular form of the tree provides stability and structure.
