Apple Barn by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that celebrates both the harvest season and the enduring spirit of American farm life. Featured in Moss’s Fall Collection, Barn Collection, and American Flag Collection, this artwork is a quintessential expression of her devotion to rural traditions and national pride.

The composition depicts a classic red barn, proudly displaying the American flag, a timeless symbol of heritage and unity. Beside it, a tractor pulls a wagon filled with families and friends, waving flags and enjoying a crisp autumn day. The landscape unfolds in soft golden tones, dotted with trees that frame the joyful scene. This work is more than a picture of a barn—it’s a celebration of community, hard work, and the simple joys of gathering together during the harvest season.

Style & Technique

As a lithograph, Apple Barn reflects Moss’s mastery of detail and color harmony. The iconic barn is rendered in bold reds with clean lines, creating a striking focal point against the soft background. Gentle washes of autumn earth tones highlight the rolling countryside, while the figures on the wagon are painted with Moss’s signature minimalism—expressive yet understated. The flags, a recurring theme in Moss’s work, add movement and symbolic meaning, tying the farmstead to a broader American story of resilience and gratitude.

This piece radiates warmth, festivity, and pride. Moss’s inspiration often came from her deep respect for traditional American values and her love for the land. In Apple Barn, she weaves together the themes of harvest and patriotism, creating an image that is both nostalgic and celebratory. It invites viewers to recall fond memories of barn gatherings, hayrides, and family traditions while honoring the flag as a symbol of unity and perseverance.

Placement & Gift Ideas

With its combination of rustic charm and patriotic symbolism, Apple Barn is ideal for display in a family room, dining room, or farmhouse-style kitchen.
