Autumn Glow by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Autumn Glow by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that reflects the quiet grace of Amish life set against the golden light of fall. Part of Moss’s Fall Collection and Amish Collection, this piece blends themes of simplicity, tradition, and the beauty of seasonal change in her iconic folk art style.

The artwork features an Amish couple standing together in the foreground, their attire rendered in Moss’s classic stylization—plain, modest, and timeless. The man holds a bucket, while the woman carries a basket brimming with apples, symbolic of harvest and abundance. Behind them, a tall brick mill or farmhouse rises against the softly glowing countryside. Bare trees stretch skyward, their branches etched against the warm amber tones of an autumn landscape. The scene captures both stillness and strength, evoking reverence for tradition and gratitude for the gifts of the season.

Style & Technique

In Autumn Glow, Moss uses the lithograph medium to preserve her hallmark balance of minimalism and storytelling. Her watercolor washes create a warm background of golden yellows and soft browns, while the figures are drawn in bold, clean lines that emphasize their humility and quiet dignity. The verticality of the mill and trees contrasts with the simplicity of the couple, grounding the composition with a sense of permanence and continuity. Moss’s restrained use of color highlights her ability to evoke depth and meaning with subtlety.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Autumn Glow is peaceful, reflective, and reverent. Moss often found inspiration in the Amish community, where life is lived close to the land, guided by faith, family, and tradition. The title reflects not only the seasonal glow of autumn but also the inner glow of contentment and simplicity. The couple’s presence speaks to themes of partnership, resilience, and gratitude—timeless values that resonate deeply across generations.

Placement & Gift Ideas

With its rich autumn palette and contemplative subject, Autumn Glow is ideal for display in dining rooms, entryways, or family living spaces, where its themes of togetherness and gratitude can be shared daily. Its warm tones also make it a natural fit for fall décor, farmhouse interiors, or traditional homes.

As a gift, this lithograph is particularly meaningful for anniversaries, weddings, or Thanksgiving, offering a visual tribute to love, faith, and seasonal abundance. Collectors of Moss’s Amish-themed works will especially treasure this piece as a glowing example of her artistry.
