At the center of This Is The Good Life, an Amish couple rides together in a traditional horse-drawn buggy along a golden country lane. The horse moves forward with calm strength, its harness carefully detailed, symbolizing steady purpose and dedication. The couple sits side by side, dressed in traditional attire—simple, modest, and timeless. Their quiet companionship reflects partnership built on shared values and faith.

Rolling fields stretch across the background in warm tones of amber and harvest gold. Large round hay bales dot the landscape, suggesting late summer or early autumn—seasons of labor rewarded. A red barn stands in the distance, accompanied by a windmill and gently fenced pastures. Beyond the fields, a softly rising rock formation anchors the horizon, adding both depth and symbolism to the rural panorama.

The sweeping tree branch in the foreground frames the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye along the peaceful country road. In This Is The Good Life, Moss celebrates a lifestyle centered on simplicity, hard work, and harmony with nature. The scene radiates contentment—free from haste, grounded in tradition.

Repeatedly, This Is The Good Life reminds us that fulfillment often comes not from abundance, but from meaningful connection, faith, and honest labor. The quiet road becomes a metaphor for life’s journey—steady, deliberate, and shared.

Style & Technique

Moss’s signature American folk art style shines vibrantly in This Is The Good Life. Her elongated figures and simplified forms create elegance without excess detail. The curved road and flowing tree branches add movement while maintaining compositional balance.

The giclée process preserves the rich warmth of the original artwork. Golden ochres, soft greens, and muted earth tones blend seamlessly, enhancing the pastoral glow of the landscape. Fine linework defines the fencing, buggy wheels, and harness, ensuring clarity within this Numbered Limited Edition.

As part of the P. Buckley Moss Amish Art Collection, P. Buckley Moss Men Collection, and P. Buckley Moss Women Collection, this piece reflects Moss’s deep respect for the Amish way of life—its emphasis on humility, craftsmanship, and community. Her portrayal is both romanticized and reverent, capturing not just scenery but spirit.
