butter and sugar together. Add egg and beat until incorporated, then add extract. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined.
Divide dough in half, keeping one half in the mixing bowl. Add red food coloring and mix until the desired color is reached. Shape each dough into a square that is roughly ½” thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Place red dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle that’s about 1/4″ thick. Repeat with white dough. Take a top sheet of parchment paper off of each dough. Place red dough on top of white dough, dough sides facing each other. Gently press on top of the dough to help seal together.
Remove top parchment paper and trim sides to match up evenly. Starting on a long side, use the bottom parchment paper to help roll dough tightly into a log.

What we hear in the Gallery…

When we have events in Waynesville and in our gallery, we always enjoy new people coming in to visit. This past weekend during our “Back to the 80’s” event, a lady stopped by and shared that she was a local resident of Waynesville and one of the things she and her son looked forward to during these past few months, was to take evening walks through downtown Waynesville. They loved checking out the window displays of the shops. She said he son was always so excited to see what art we had placed in our window. He is just two years old and is already noticing what a difference art makes in life. I love when people share experiences and glad that we are helping her son appreciate art; loving, growing and experiencing what art can do for our minds and soul. One of our little visitor’s favorite displays was of a very large fish, Shimmering In The Depths

I thought it was amazing that such a small child looked forward to art. At only two years old, he’s already developing an appreciation for art images and looks forward to the joy it adds to everyday life. I thought of the blog from last year about how art is important to children. This blog remains one of our most visited pages of our website.

Sunday Church – Spring at Callaway Chapel

in Blog, Churches Painted by P Buckley Moss

Let Art Comfort & Inspire with P Buckley Moss Church Architectural Art.

Address: Spring at Callaway features the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

Nestled in a serene forest surrounding Falls Creek Lake, the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel was carefully planned by Cason Callaway himself as a tribute to his mother. Inspired by 16th-century Gothic chapels, it is highlighted by a variety of materials native to its region, including fieldstone quartz. Beautifully crafted stained glass windows depict pines, soft woods and hardwoods, as well as the Southern forest in a progression of seasons. The majestic sounds of the chapel’s custom-built Möller pipe organ ring out during seasonal concerts.

Today, the chapel is used for small weddings as well as a Non-Denominational Service each Sunday morning throughout the Summer and during the Christmas season.

“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble

and surround me with songs of deliverance.”

Psalm 32:7-8

Spirit of Freedom

in Blog, Horse Art

Spirit of Freedom is a large Giclee print that has garnered extreme interest and popularity with collectors especially those with the wall space to hang this exceptional image. Taken from an original watercolor that once hung in the permanent collection of the P Buckley Moss Museum, the Giclee reproduction process is nearly a perfect recreation of the original. The giclee is a digital process that is produced by a large printer that “spits or sprays” the ink onto the archival paper or canvas recreating both color and texture of the original unlike any other printing process.

Moss’ horses are almost always created with flowing lines which is a characteristic of her style and this work is no exception. The flowing main and flaring nostrils indicate the pronounced power of the horse as well as the symbolism of freedom and sensuality. Early in her career during a show, a person asked her why she didn’t paint nudes and she pointed to one of her horses and said, “Look at that beautiful horse,” to which the gentleman replied, “Touche!”

The soft pastel colors in the background, the indication of landscape in the very minimalist way speak to Pat’s artistic training as a professional artist and lends to a visual style like no other. Those who are not aware of this artist often recognize either her horses or her geese even if they don’t know who she is!

A Fun Visitor

in Blog, Cats Art

On any day in Waynesville, there are visitors that come in the gallery with smiles for the art and curiosity about the treasures inside such a colorful place. One day last week I had a most unusual and delightful visitor who brightened my day and now I hope will brighten yours.

While working at the back of the gallery a young man and his mother walked in and started looking intently at the artwork. I greeted them and struck up a conversation about the pieces they were looking at together. I was curious about their day in Waynesville and asked how the visit was so far, thinking the boy would come back with a negative response since a day walking around was not anything like video games with friends. To my surprise, his face lit up when I asked about their visit and he said, “This is a great place! I love coming here!”

Pleasantly surprised, I asked what he liked most about Waynesville. He responded that he loved art, but that he was also excited to visit all the antique stores. Hmmm, I thought. Here is a ten-year-old boy who loves art and antiques?!

“So, young man,” I said in surprise. “What do you love about antique stores?”

He thought for a moment and began to tell me how much he loved seeing things from so many years ago. He loved looking at all the tools, toys, and treasures of an antique store and imagining how they were used and who may have used them.

“Well,” I said with a big smile. “It is a rare person indeed who truly appreciates the value of a good antique!”

Before I could continue, he and his mom started telling me how much they liked so many of the P Buckley Moss prints and originals in the gallery. They were astounded at the different styles and subjects but as I suspected, the print they were the most excited about was Turquoise Treasure which features a standing cat, with such a playful attitude that happened to be painted turquoise. But then it wouldn’t be a cat if it didn’t have an attitude, right?

I too am a huge fan of our Turquoise Cat. It is one print almost everyone comments on when they peruse our gallery. And I just love that old art lovers and younger new ones just love how this wonderfully simple and colorful piece can make you smile, even on the gloomiest of winters days!

They walked around and asked questions about certain pieces that caught their eye. Before we knew it, they were mindful of the time and wanted to get outside to continue their planned day in town. Before they left, I asked if he was “On the Hunt” for any antiques in particular and he looks up at me with a big smile and said, “Of course! I collect Pez dispensers.” The gleam in his eye brought a smile to my face and we talked about his Pez collection, although he was quick to point out that it was not technically a real collection since he only had about 100 of these candy dispensers.

OK, only 100?! I leaned in closer and told him that anytime you have 100 of any one category of items…it would definitely have to be considered a collection! He smiled and looked up at his mom with pride. But now he had me quite curious.

I asked him more about the tiny candy dispensers and he told me that he would expect to pay around $15 to $25 for one of the old Pez dispensers if he was lucky enough to spot one in any of our antique malls. “The really early ones are worth thousands of dollars,” he told me. Who knew?

Without blinking an eye he said, “My 1979, Tweety Bird!”

“So,” I continued. “What is your absolute favorite Pez dispenser from your collection at home?”

Without blinking an eye he said, “My 1979, Tweety Bird!”

Of course, it was!

He made sure to also tell me how much he enjoyed the artwork of P. Buckley Moss. He and his mom promised to come back when they had a bit more time to learn more about her and all the beautiful artwork. They both agreed that coming into the gallery was a delightful surprise and a reason they would return again. I made him promise to return with his 1979 Tweety so I could see what I missed from back in the day and made a mental note to keep an eye out for “Pez” dispensers when I get around to cleaning my basement.

As they headed out the door, I stopped and looked around the gallery. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old, I was seeing the fun and magic that art brings into our everyday life. I glanced at the turquoise cat and gave her a wink. There is something for everyone!

He made my day and I was so very happy they would come to Waynesville to walk around and just enjoy new experiences as a family. That is what life is all about–exploring, learning, and setting out on a “hunt!”

Art can be so fun!

Kentucky Derby Red Brings Out the Best in P Buckley Moss Art

in Articles, Horse Art, Kentucky Derby Party Inspiration

It’s time to start planning your Run For The Roses gathering! I just love that expression and I love the Kentucky Derby. All the hats and fancy dresses, tiny finger sandwiches, and of course, the excitement of the race! I haven’t been, but it makes me happy to think of all the fun and excitement of being around horses. If I had to pick a favorite that Pat Moss paints I would have to say that her horses are some of the most lovely and inspiring images to grace a wall.

P Buckley Moss ~ Unique Perspective of the world

in Blog

The Artist P. Buckley Moss has a unique perspective of the world. One of the things most fascinating about her (and there are many things) is her remarkable memory for details. If you ask her what inspires her to paint she will tell you that the world is rich with details. I have been to her studios through out the years and seen first hand the sketches on paper, tissues, napkins, envelopes….tiny pieces of visual notes to be expanded upon when she finds herself alone with only brush and canvas.

At her recent Barn Show, Pat and I talked about her print, The Barnstormer. Far too young to remember the days when these planes flew around the country, Pat said that over the summer she wanted to be reminded of all the summer vacations gone by, the memories of days long ago, and the vacations that she took with her once small children. “I thought the essay contest would be a fun way to inspire dinner conversations!” she said. I think that it is important to try to figure out how to bring these wonderful conversations back into our now, digital life.

The Importance of Art and Telling Stories
I suppose that we should start by just telling more stories. Somewhere I read that kids today are going to return to the days of caveman drawings with all their dependency on emojis. Now I love a good smiley face as much as anybody, but one of the things I totally agree with Pat on is the “good old dinner-time history lesson-story.” Thinking about my grandchildren and trying to figure out ways to get them to be inspired by art and perhaps write out a story for me. I was wondering what you think about “summer memories and children who speak with smiley faces.”

I have a friend who was telling me that almost every night at her dinner table growing up there would be stacks of Encyclopedias brought out to help bolster some story or event going on that day. I thought that it was quite amusing to think about those large heavy books being passed around over plates of spaghetti (yes, my friend is Italian and not only did they discuss history with dinner, but they got to eat pasta every night too!)

This same friend sent me an essay that I must share. It is about the print, Humpback Rock, and I just loved how one image transported her into some childhood memories that were the highlight of her summers. It got me thinking about my grandchildren and trying to figure out ways to get them to be inspired by art and perhaps write out a story for me. I was wondering what you all were thinking about summer memories and children who speak with smiley faces. Read the essay: Read a great post

Is there hope? If you have found a secret to telling stories at dinner, then please share it with me.
