Country Homestead by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Country Homestead is a rare, signed, and numbered limited edition giclée print by renowned American artist and part of the Moss Historic Landmark Collection. P. Buckley Moss, celebrating the enduring charm of rural tradition and historic American architecture. This captivating artwork features a horse-drawn carriage guided by a gentleman in traditional attire, set against the backdrop of a striking brick homestead surrounded by lush greenery.

The central house depicted is the David Crabill House, a historic landmark located in Moorefield Township near Springfield, Ohio, built circa 1826. The home, with its classic Federal-style brickwork, white-trimmed windows, and welcoming front porch, is one of the region’s treasured historic residences. Through Moss’s eyes, this scene becomes more than a picture of a house—it becomes a living memory of America’s past, where tradition, craftsmanship, and the harmony of rural life remain steadfast.

Style & Technique

In Country Homestead, Moss employs her folk art style with both realism and nostalgia. The warm, earthy red of the brick house contrasts beautifully with the soft greens of surrounding trees and fields, while the horses, painted in rich chestnut tones, add vitality and movement. The giclée printing technique captures Moss’s delicate brushwork and color layering with remarkable accuracy, allowing collectors to experience the richness and depth of the original artwork.

The carriage, marked with the word “Champion” on the wheel, symbolizes not just rural transport but pride in tradition and craftsmanship. Moss’s elongated figure of the driver and her balance between architectural precision and pastoral softness create a timeless image that resonates with both history and art.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Country Homestead is warm, nostalgic, and dignified, embodying the spirit of early American rural life. The David Crabill House stands as a symbol of endurance—an anchor to heritage and community. Moss’s work has always been deeply inspired by historic buildings, Amish and Shaker traditions, and the landscapes of Virginia and the Midwest. In this piece, she honors Ohio’s history while celebrating the universal values of home, perseverance, and connection to the land.

The scene inspires viewers to reflect on simpler times, where the pace of life was guided by nature, community, and family traditions.
