Content & Subject

Waiting for Dad Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss is a rare signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that celebrates family, tradition, and the quiet rhythms of Amish life.

A round stone barn stands sturdily to the side, anchoring the scene in a sense of heritage and rural permanence.
