Dear Moss Friends:
Pat is having a wonderful time with her children and grandchildren on a Disney Cruise. She will return just in time for her Barn Show and Museum Open House this weekend in Waynesboro, Virginia.
Pat and four of her six children share a relaxing moment on their Disney Cruise. Clockwise from top: Becky, Chris, Ginny, Mary, and Pat.After the Barn Show, Pat will be headed to one of her favorite places, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she will host the P. Buckley Moss Collectors’ Convention July 20-21. Pat is looking forward to seeing her Pennsylvania friends and celebrating the P. Buckley Moss Society’s third 20th Anniversary Birthday Party during the Saturday evening Dinner/Dance. It’s a Country Western theme, and Pat is working on her cowgirl outfit! Get your tickets now by calling the Society office at 540-943-5678.
Pat has created two very special prints for the Convention. The large Convention print is a depiction of Philadelphia’s historic Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed by the founding fathers of our country, and its bell tower steeple was the original home of the “Liberty Bell.” Pat has said of this painting, “I spent hours listening to books on tape and painting the countless bricks, but I feel the end result is worth every minute I worked on it. In addition to the history of the building, I’ve always been fascinated by the balance and proportion of its Georgian architecture.”
The edition size of Independence Hall will be determined by the number of orders received by July 22nd. Place your order now or through your local gallery.For the small Convention print, Pat has created an idyllic schoolyard scene, typical of Mennonite and Amish one-roomed schools, to honor not only the Plain People but also the innocence of all children. Of this piece Pat said, “I remember a day when I was invited to an Amish schoolroom in Pennsylvania. I drew a portrait of each child in the school, and I remember their sweetness when I gave each one of them their portrait. I hope that Happy Days will inspire warm memories of simpler times and a desire to help children achieve their full potential.”
Happy Days is available to all who attend the Pennslyvania convention, July 20-21, for $60. After the convention it will retail for $100.Being on the Disney Cruise this week has reminded Pat of next year’s Society RiverBarge Trip on the Ohio River. RiverBarge Excursions’ Rare on the River-Fall Foliage and Fillies tour is round trip through Cincinnati, Ohio, October 16-23, 2008. Join Pat and fellow Society members for eight glorious days of fun and beautiful scenery. Since this is RiverBarge Excursions’ most popular itinerary, it is very important to book as soon as possible. Those who book by October 1, 2007, will receive $100 of Barge Bucks (onboard credit).
