Family of Love by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Family of Love is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by American folk artist P. Buckley Moss, celebrating the warmth and strength of family bonds. In this serene winter scene, a father and mother stand together, each holding a child in their arms, their posture radiating closeness and devotion. Two geese walk gracefully nearby, reinforcing Moss’s recurring theme of loyalty, love, and continuity.

In the distance, rustic red-brick homes and barns rest quietly against the snowy landscape, grounding the scene in a sense of heritage, home, and tradition. This piece belongs to both the Family Collection and the Geese Collection, making it a special treasure for collectors who follow Moss’s exploration of kinship and rural life.

Style & Technique

True to Moss’s distinct folk art style, Family of Love simplifies figures into graceful, elongated forms, allowing their symbolism to shine. The mother, father, and children are depicted with minimal detail yet deep emotional resonance, emphasizing universality—any family can see themselves reflected in this tender moment.

The lithograph technique captures Moss’s careful balance of color and line. Warm shades of rose, crimson, and soft snow-white dominate the palette, creating a glowing atmosphere that contrasts with the crisp black outlines of the figures and geese. The circular framing gives the work the feeling of a cherished memory, like looking into a window of time.

Mood & Inspiration

This artwork carries a mood of love, tenderness, and unity. Inspired by the timeless values of home and family, Moss highlights the beauty of everyday life—the strength of parents, the innocence of children, and the loyalty represented by geese. The wintry backdrop further enhances the sense of closeness, suggesting that even in the coldest seasons, love keeps families warm.

Family of Love is more than a portrait; it is a universal story of connection, one that speaks to generations past, present, and future.
