Spring at Piedmont Park Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

The Spring at Piedmont Park Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that beautifully captures the elegance, history, and springtime charm of one of Atlanta’s most beloved landmarks. The artwork centers on a graceful stone bridge adorned with delicate architectural details, spanning a peaceful body of water that reflects the colors and textures of the season. Moss’s interpretation highlights the park’s timeless beauty, inviting viewers into a moment of stillness and renewal.

A small pavilion with tall white columns and a peaked roof stands proudly at the center of the bridge, offering a sense of structure and balance. Its classical form contrasts gently with the natural surroundings, blending human craftsmanship with the softness of nature. Beneath the bridge, the water shimmers with layers of green, lavender, and soft gray, echoing the freshness of early spring.

Surrounding the bridge, vibrant blossoms in tones of pink and purple accent the landscape, while the trees behind it glow with warm spring hues—peach, coral, gold, and soft green. Moss’s distinctive linework gives the trees energy and movement, suggesting branches swaying under a gentle breeze. As part of the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Historic Landmark Collection, this ornament celebrates the harmony of structure and nature, a hallmark of Moss’s most beloved scenes.
