December by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

December by P. Buckley Moss is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from her celebrated Twelve Months of the Year Collection, in which she painted a special image to represent each month. This joyful print is also part of Moss’s beloved Snowman Collection, making it especially appealing to collectors who cherish her seasonal works.

The artwork depicts a pair of cheerful snowmen standing side by side in front of a beautifully adorned evergreen tree. A golden star shines brightly atop the tree, symbolizing both the Christmas season and the warmth of shared celebration. One snowman wears a straw hat and a mauve scarf, while the other sports a black top hat with a pale blue scarf. Their twig arms stretch toward one another in a gesture of companionship, embodying the spirit of togetherness and joy that defines the holiday season.

Style & Technique

Moss’s signature folk art style is evident in December, blending simplicity with heartfelt emotion. The use of soft watercolor tones—gentle greens of the evergreen, snowy whites of the figures, and pastel highlights in the background—creates a peaceful winter atmosphere. The oval vignette presentation gives the scene an intimate, framed quality, much like peeking through a frosted window at a cherished holiday memory.

As a lithograph, this artwork captures Moss’s delicate brushstrokes and fine details, ensuring lasting clarity and beauty. The signed and numbered edition mark affirm the authenticity and collectible nature of this rare piece.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of December is one of celebration, warmth, and companionship. It represents both the joy of the Christmas season and the universal themes of love, family, and friendship. By including snowmen—a recurring and beloved motif in her art—Moss evokes nostalgia and whimsy, reminding us of the simple pleasures of wintertime.

As part of the Twelve Months Collection, December also carries deeper meaning: it was designed to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, and special milestones for those born or celebrated during the twelfth month of the year.
