December by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

December by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered limited edition lithograph that beautifully blends the gentle magic of winter with the cozy joy of the holiday season. As part of the Moss Snowman Collection, the Moss Christmas Collection and part of the Twelve Months of the Year Collection, this fine art print captures a tender moment between two cheerful snow figures resting beneath a beautifully decorated evergreen tree.

The circular vignette in December creates an intimate window into a peaceful December day. A tall, graceful Christmas tree rises behind the snowmen, its branches dusted with soft snow and crowned by a glowing golden star. The snowmen—one wearing a warm straw hat and pink scarf, the other in a classic black hat and blue scarf—lean gently into one another as if sharing warmth, friendship, and holiday cheer. Their joyful expressions and rosy cheeks radiate the sweetness and simplicity that define Moss’s beloved seasonal artworks.

Hints of a rosy winter sunrise streak the background, adding warmth to the crisp cool tones. Soft blue shading around the circle enhances the feeling of looking into a cherished memory, a winter moment preserved in time.

Style & Technique

Moss’s lithograph technique gives December its delicate textures and soft, snowy glow. Her signature elongated brushstrokes appear even in the tree’s branches, creating movement and rhythm. The gentle washes of blues, greens, and blush tones evoke the quiet beauty of early winter mornings.

The circular composition is one Moss uses intentionally, inviting viewers to experience the artwork like a treasured ornament or a nostalgic winter keepsake. Fine details—such as the snowflakes clinging to the tree, the subtle shadows shaping each snowman, and the expressive tilt of their hats—demonstrate Moss’s ability to bring personality into even the most whimsical figures.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of December is cozy, nostalgic, and quietly joyful. Moss celebrates the essence of the holiday season: companionship, warmth, and the peaceful magic found in simple winter moments. The snowmen’s closeness suggests friendship or family bonds, making the piece emotionally uplifting.

The glowing star and evergreen tree reflect Moss’s deep appreciation for Christmas traditions and winter symbolism. The artwork captures the feeling of stepping outside on a still December morning—fresh snow underfoot, breath hanging in the air, and the world softened by seasonal beauty.

Placement & Gift Ideas

December is an ideal addition to living rooms, entryways, kitchens, hallways, and family gathering spaces. Its circular shape and gentle palette allow it to complement winter décor, holiday displays, and any Moss snowman collection.
