Horse Side View Painting by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Horse Side View Painting by P. Buckley Moss is a hand-signed original watercolor belonging to both the Moss Painting Collection and the Moss Horse Collection. This exquisite one-of-a-kind artwork exemplifies Moss’s rare ability to capture the spirit and grace of the horse with poetic simplicity and emotional depth.

Horse Side View Painting presents a distinguished side profile of a horse rendered in Moss’s signature flowing lines. The warm copper and coral tones of the horse stand gracefully against a dynamic background of blended turquoise, crimson, and amber hues—colors that evoke the movement of dawn light over open fields. The figure’s gentle curves and subtle expression convey both quiet strength and timeless serenity, qualities that make Moss’s equine pieces so deeply admired.

Because Horse Side View Painting has never been printed or reproduced, it is a true collector’s treasure, showcasing the spontaneity and authenticity of Moss’s watercolor brushwork. The artist’s personal signature on the piece ensures provenance and lasting value.

Style & Technique

Executed in Moss’s unmistakable folk-modern style, this piece combines fluid contour lines with softly layered watercolor washes. The minimalist elegance of Moss’s technique allows emotion to shine through each brushstroke, while her mastery of color creates harmony and balance within the composition.

The translucent watercolor tones shift gently between warm and cool spectrums, highlighting the natural contours of the horse’s head and neck. The absence of background detail focuses the viewer’s attention on form, posture, and presence—transforming the subject into a universal symbol of beauty and grace.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Horse Side View Painting is calm, reflective, and reverent. For Moss, horses have always represented freedom, spirit, and understanding between nature and humankind. In this work, she channels that inspiration into a portrait that feels both intimate and noble.

The glowing background suggests early morning light or the gentle close of day—times of reflection and renewal. Through this timeless imagery, Moss reminds viewers of the peaceful strength and enduring wisdom found in her equine muses.

Placement & Gift Ideas

As a hand-signed original watercolor, Horse Side View Painting brings sophistication and warmth to any setting. It would be stunning in a living room, study, library, or equestrian-themed space, where its gentle energy complements both traditional and modern décor.

As a gift, Horse Side View Painting carries a sense of rarity and authenticity—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or as a meaningful acquisition for a devoted Moss collector. Because it is registered in the buyer’s name with P. Buckley Moss through Canada Goose Gallery, this piece also becomes a lasting heirloom.

The Magic of Owning an Original Artwork

There is something undeniably powerful about standing before an original work of art. Every brushstroke, every layer of paint, every subtle detail carries the hand, heart, and intention of the artist. Unlike a print, which can be duplicated and shared, an original is one-of-a-kind: a singular creation that exists nowhere else in the world.

To own an original is to hold the very moment of its creation, to feel the presence of the artist, and to experience the depth, texture, and energy that can never be fully captured in reproduction.

An original artwork is more than decoration; it is a legacy piece. It carries prestige, value, and a story that becomes part of your own. Collectors often describe the experience as intimate, a relationship with the artist and their vision, while also knowing they are investing in culture, creativity, and something that will endure.
