Autumn Harvest Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

P. Buckley Moss’s Autumn Harvest is a joyful celebration of Halloween magic and the bounty of the fall season. This rare Artist Proof lithograph, signed and numbered in limited edition, brings together some of Moss’s most beloved themes—pumpkins, children, and seasonal festivity—within a glowing circular composition.

The artwork depicts a spirited Halloween evening: children dressed as a ghost, witch, and fairy dance through a golden harvest field under a starry night sky. Around them, glowing jack-o’-lanterns smile warmly, while playful black cats perch on the pumpkins, adding a dash of mischief to the scene. Overhead, a crescent moon shines down, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the artwork.

Part of the Halloween Collection, Pumpkin Collection and Black Cat Collection, Autumn Harvest embodies Moss’s talent for turning familiar rural traditions into timeless celebrations of joy and togetherness.

Style & Technique

Executed in lithography, Autumn Harvest features the vivid color and storytelling charm characteristic of Moss’s seasonal works. The circular framing of the image evokes both a harvest moon and a decorative medallion, inviting the viewer into a world of folklore and festivity. Moss’s use of bold autumn oranges, soft golden wheat tones, and a deep night sky filled with twinkling stars creates a scene that feels magical yet grounded in tradition.

The Artist Proof designation makes this print especially rare and valuable for collectors, as these editions are fewer in number and often personally overseen by the artist herself.

Mood & Inspiration

This piece radiates warmth, nostalgia, and childlike wonder. The scene captures the excitement of Halloween night—the thrill of costumes, the glow of jack-o’-lanterns, and the sense of magic in the autumn air. Moss’s inspiration lies in the traditions of rural America, where harvest and Halloween blend into evenings of storytelling, laughter, and family connection. Autumn Harvest invites viewers to step back into those treasured memories and to relive the simple joys of the season.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Autumn Harvest is a striking piece to display during the fall season, particularly in entryways, dining areas, or family living rooms where its festive spirit can welcome guests. Its circular composition makes it perfect as a seasonal focal point, whether framed individually or paired with other Moss Halloween or Pumpkin Collection prints.

As an Artist Proof, this print is an especially meaningful gift for dedicated collectors, Halloween enthusiasts, or anyone who treasures Moss’s rarest editions. Ideal for fall birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings, it is both a celebratory artwork and a valuable collectible.
