A Simple Life by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

A Simple Life by P. Buckley Moss beautifully transports us into the golden warmth of autumn on a quiet Amish farmstead. This signed and numbered limited edition giclée is part of Moss’s Fall Collection, Pumpkin Collection, and Amish Collection—making it especially beloved by seasonal collectors. The scene unfolds with a horse-drawn carriage carrying a couple down a winding country road, surrounded by pumpkins scattered across the fields.

Moss has always been celebrated for her ability to portray rural landscapes and timeless values, and this piece is no exception. It is a glowing tribute to the beauty of seasonal rhythms and the serenity of Amish country living.
