Sand and Serenity Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Sand and Serenity Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered limited edition porcelain ornament that captures the peaceful beauty of the shoreline in Moss’s unmistakably gentle style. Part of the cherished Moss Ornament Collection, this oval keepsake highlights the quiet poetry of the coast—soft skies, sweeping grasses, and the calming rhythm of the sea.

Within the smooth oval frame of Sand and Serenity Ornament, sea oats sway gently in the foreground, their golden tips bending gracefully under a coastal breeze. Behind them, soft washes of blue, lavender, and sand blend into a tranquil horizon. Moss’s palette is serene and dreamlike, echoing the soothing tones of early morning light as it washes across still water and quiet dunes.

Sand and Serenity Ornament evokes the experience of standing alone at the shore—hearing nothing but the wind in the grasses and the distant hush of waves. Moss invites the viewer into a moment of rest, reflection, and meditative calm. Her delicate linework captures the movement of the grasses with elegant simplicity, while the gentle coastal colors deepen the sense of tranquility.

Sand And Serenity Ornament brings the peace of the shoreline into the heart of the home, offering a small yet deeply emotional window into coastal beauty.

Style & Technique

Moss’s ability to work with transparent color layers and expressive, fine lines translates beautifully onto porcelain. The ornament’s glazed finish enhances the soft transitions of blues and sandy neutrals, preserving the painterly texture and subtle tonal shifts that define the original composition.

The oval shape works particularly well for this coastal design, naturally guiding the eye upward along the grasses and outward toward the calm horizon. Moss’s use of gentle, rhythmic brushstrokes reflects the quiet movement of natural elements without overpowering the delicate balance of the scene.

This blend of refined detail and peaceful openness makes Sand and Serenity Ornament a graceful miniature landscape—one that feels timeless and soothing.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Sand and Serenity Ornament is reflective, peaceful, and restorative. Moss is known for capturing the emotional essence of place, and here she turns her attention to the meditative solitude of coastal landscapes.

Inspired by the quiet beauty found along dunes and beaches, Moss offers a moment of harmony between land, sea, and sky. The ornament feels like a deep breath—one that calms the mind and uplifts the spirit. It speaks to anyone who finds renewal at the water’s edge.
