Summer Splash by P. Buckley Moss is a 2007 Lithograph, Limited, Numbered Edition from the P. Buckley Moss Children Collection and P. Buckley Moss Swimming Collection. You will enjoy viewing over 2000 prints in our P. Buckley Moss Prints Collection. 

This lively and joyful composition captures children playing and diving off a wooden dock into cool summer waters. Each child is frozen in a moment of motion—jumping, splashing, and laughing—bringing energy and life to the scene. A life preserver hangs nearby, adding both a visual focal point and a nostalgic touch of lakeside safety.

The gentle pastel sky and calm water contrast with the playful activity, creating a perfect balance between excitement and serenity.

Style & Technique

Rendered as a lithograph, Summer Splash reflects Moss’s signature folk-art style with soft lines, light textures, and a bright yet soothing color palette.

The figures are stylized with simple forms and expressive movement, while the dock and water are rendered with minimal detail, allowing the action of the children to remain the focus. The pastel tones enhance the carefree and sunlit feeling of the scene.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Summer Splash is playful, carefree, and full of youthful energy. It evokes the timeless joy of summer days spent outdoors, where simple moments become lasting memories.

Moss draws inspiration from childhood experiences and the universal delight of water play, celebrating freedom, friendship, and the innocence of youth.

Placement & Gift Ideas

This piece is perfect for family rooms, lake houses, children’s spaces, or vacation homes, where its cheerful and nostalgic tone can shine.

It makes a wonderful gift for families, educators, or collectors who appreciate childhood themes, as well as anyone who cherishes memories of summer by the water.
