Church of the Land by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Church of the Land is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss.

This piece depicts a tall, graceful young woman in Moss’s iconic elongated style, walking across a snowy landscape carrying a bundle of sticks. In the background stands a white country church, with a horse and sleigh gliding past, evoking a serene winter day in rural America.

The composition combines human effort and faith, symbolizing the bond between daily life, nature, and spiritual grounding.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s classic folk art aesthetic, the artwork is defined by:

• Elongated figure – the young woman embodies Moss’s signature style.

• Subtle winter palette – muted whites, soft grays, and pale blues create a sense of calm.

• Delicate church detail – the steeple and architecture highlight Moss’s recurring reverence for simple country churches.

The subject reflects Moss’s deep appreciation for the strength and quiet dignity of women, as well as the importance of faith and tradition in community life.

Mood & Meaning

The mood is one of peaceful resilience and quiet reverence. The woman carrying wood suggests preparation and care, while the church anchors the piece with a sense of continuity and faith. It speaks to the harmony between human perseverance and spiritual strength.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This lithograph makes a wonderful choice for:

• A family or living room, as a reminder of faith and tradition.

• A gift for women, celebrating strength and nurturing roles.
