Our Halloween Blitz Begins
Meet Me in the Pumpkin Patch
The Playful Side of Fall
October has a way of waking up the child in us. The first pumpkin patch, the rustle of leaves underfoot, and a black cat watching from the garden can turn an ordinary afternoon into the beginning of a Halloween story.
In the art of P. Buckley Moss, Halloween is filled with personality rather than fright. Pumpkins grin beneath crooked hats. Cats climb, hide, and cause trouble. Children race toward the fun, while geese and country landmarks join the celebration with a little seasonal mischief of their own.
So come along. Our Halloween Blitz begins in the pumpkin patch, where autumn color, childhood imagination, and the thrill of what is just around the corner make October irresistible.
“Somewhere between the pumpkin patch and the porch light, October turns anticipation into magic.”
“When pumpkins gather at the old mill, even history seems ready for Halloween.”
Pumpkins at the Mill
A historic mill surrounded by pumpkins brings together rural heritage and the cheerful signs of October. Warm orange, rustic brick, bare trees, and an old fence make this rare print feel like a favorite country stop on the way to the pumpkin patch.
“A cottage, a pumpkin path, and one watchful black cat are all October needs to begin a story.”
Harvest at the Stone Cottage
Pumpkins scatter around a cozy stone cottage framed by brilliant foliage and a vine-covered trellis. Near the lamppost, a small black cat adds just enough mystery to make the peaceful autumn home feel ready for Halloween visitors.
“Give five black cats one bright pumpkin, and October will take care of the entertainment.”
October Play Day
Five mischievous black cats climb, perch, and prowl around a glowing orange pumpkin. Their curling tails and lively poses turn the harvest into a playground and capture Halloween exactly as it should feel: curious, energetic, and fun.
“Every pumpkin patch needs a guardian, preferably one with feathers and plenty of attitude.”
Moss Halloween Goose
The beloved Moss Goose stands proudly among plump pumpkins and curling vines. Graceful, watchful, and just a little self-important, this seasonal character brings gentle humor to a favorite symbol of harvest and homecoming.
“In a child’s imagination, a pumpkin is never only a pumpkin. It might be a whole house waiting to be discovered.”
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater
A familiar nursery rhyme comes to life as Peter carries apples beside a giant pumpkin house where his wife peers from the window. Moss turns a rhyme passed through generations into a warm storybook scene filled with autumn color and family nostalgia.
“A crooked hat and a wide pumpkin grin are proof that Halloween has arrived.”
Jack-O-Lantern 1
A smiling orange jack-o’-lantern wears an impossibly tall black witch’s hat against a crisp white background. Compact, bold, and full of personality, this Halloween character looks ready to greet every visitor at the door.
“Every jack-o’-lantern deserves a companion who understands the importance of a dramatic hat.”
Jack-O-Lantern 2
The companion character steps forward with a broad smile, a curling witch’s hat, and a warmer, atmospheric background. Displayed together or on its own, this expressive pumpkin brings humor rather than fright to Halloween decorating.
“The best Halloween costumes begin with friendship, laughter, and the freedom to become someone else for one night.”
Getting in the Spirit
Smiles, motion, and togetherness capture the excitement that builds before Halloween night. Moss celebrates the moment when costumes stop being clothes and become permission for children to run headlong into imagination.
One-of-a-Kind Original Watercolor
“Look closely. The pumpkin patch is full of small secrets, and the cats have no intention of giving them away.”
Hangin’ in the Pumpkin Patch Painting
This hand-signed 2012 watercolor is the one-of-a-kind original used to create the limited edition of the same name. Glowing pumpkins stretch across the composition while curling vines, colorful flowers, and small black cats reward a closer look.
For the collector, this is more than a seasonal image. It is Pat Moss’s original hand and vision: the source artwork from which every published print began.
