Evening in Long Grove by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Evening in Long Grove is a rare, signed, and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss. This piece is part of the Church Collection and depicts the charming Long Grove church in Long Grove, Illinois.

The scene shows a horse-drawn carriage moving gracefully through the snow, with a man and woman seated together, bundled warmly against the winter air. Behind them rises the white-painted Long Grove church, a simple yet elegant building that embodies the timeless spirit of small-town America.

The Church in the Artwork

The Long Grove church is the focal architectural feature:

• Classic white clapboard structure – a hallmark of early American country churches.

• Tall steeple with cross – symbolizing faith, community, and tradition.

• Central entrance with steps leading up – welcoming parishioners and reflecting simplicity.

• Flanked by bare winter trees – framing the church naturally, adding depth and serenity.

• Cemetery gate visible to the left – a quiet reminder of heritage, history, and continuity of life.

The depiction captures the church not just as a building, but as the heart of a community, standing with dignity and grace in the snowy countryside.

Style & Mood

Moss uses her folk art style with muted greens, whites, and soft blues, creating a mood that is peaceful, nostalgic, and reverent. The winter setting emphasizes quiet reflection and enduring faith, while the carriage in the foreground adds warmth and human connection.
