Autumn Day by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Autumn Day by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée that captures the quiet beauty of the season through the innocence of a lamb and the rustic charm of a countryside barn. Belonging to Moss’s Fall Collection, Lamb Collection, and Barn Collection, this piece blends seasonal atmosphere with her enduring themes of simplicity, tradition, and rural life.

In the foreground, a single lamb stands calmly, its soft white wool contrasting with the warm earth tones of the rolling autumn fields. Behind it, a rustic barn with golden siding rests at the edge of a grove of trees, their branches touched with the subtle colors of fall. The sky above is a pale blue, suggesting the crisp clarity of an autumn afternoon. The scene feels timeless—quiet, still, and filled with gratitude for the land’s blessings.

Style & Technique

Moss’s signature folk art style is beautifully showcased in Autumn Day. Her delicate linework and watercolor washes create both simplicity and depth, while the giclée process captures the texture and softness of her brushstrokes. The lamb, with its gentle black face and sturdy legs, is rendered with tender detail, while the barn and trees are stylized in Moss’s iconic minimalism. The warm palette of russet, gold, and sienna contrasts with the lamb’s pure white wool, creating a balanced composition full of harmony and charm.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of this piece is peaceful, tender, and reflective. Moss often drew inspiration from farm life and the innocence of animals, especially lambs, which she portrayed as symbols of purity, gentleness, and faith. In Autumn Day, the lamb embodies the quiet heart of the countryside, while the barn and autumn colors remind us of the rhythms of work, rest, and renewal. The result is a scene that inspires gratitude, calm, and appreciation for life’s simplest blessings.

Placement & Gift Ideas

With its warm tones and gentle subject, Autumn Day is an ideal piece for a farmhouse kitchen, nursery, or living room, where it adds a touch of serenity and rustic charm. Its depiction of a lamb also makes it especially meaningful for Easter displays, religious spaces, or children’s rooms, while its autumn palette connects it naturally to fall decorating.

As a gift, this giclée is a thoughtful choice for birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings, particularly for those who love farm animals or who collect Moss’s iconic lamb and barn scenes. It is a work that will resonate with both seasoned collectors and those newly discovering her art.
