Four Seasons Winter by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Four Seasons Winter is a rare, signed and numbered limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss, belonging both to her Winter Collection, One Boy Four Girls Collection and her beloved Skater Collection. This enchanting piece captures the pure joy of winter days, as five children dressed in traditional winter attire glide across a frozen pond, hand-in-hand in a playful chain. Their bundled coats and scarves, paired with Moss’s signature folk styling, evoke the innocence and delight of childhood winters.

In the background, bare-limbed trees stand quietly against a pale winter sky, their stark beauty contrasting with the movement and laughter of the skaters. The circular composition of the image mirrors the cycles of the seasons, while also enclosing the children in a protective, dreamlike frame that feels timeless and serene.

Style & Technique

True to Moss’s folk art style, Four Seasons Winter balances simplicity with emotional depth. The muted palette of icy blues, soft whites, and earthy browns reflects the stillness of winter landscapes, while the dark clothing of the skaters provides striking contrast, drawing the eye directly to their joyful movement.

The lithograph process ensures that each signed and numbered print retains the subtle variations of shading, fine lines, and crisp details Moss intended. The round framing of the artwork is both symbolic and visually unique, emphasizing unity, wholeness, and the continuity of seasonal cycles.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Four Seasons Winter is joyful, nostalgic, and filled with warmth despite the chilly setting. Moss was often inspired by childhood memories, Amish life, and the universal bonds of family and community. Here, she captures not just the act of skating, but the spirit of togetherness—children leaning on one another, steadying themselves, and laughing through the slips and slides of play.

This lithograph inspires viewers to remember their own winter days—whether skating, sledding, or gathering with friends—and celebrates the beauty of finding joy in the simple moments of life.
