Autumn Reflections by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Autumn Reflections by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée that beautifully captures the quiet strength of historic architecture mirrored in the still waters of autumn. Belonging to Moss’s Fall Collection and Landscape Collection, this artwork is both serene and symbolic, offering viewers a moment of calm reflection.

The composition features a tall, narrow stone building with a steep metal roof, its weathered texture rendered with Moss’s trademark simplicity and grace. Nestled against rolling golden hills, the structure stands at the water’s edge, where its form is softly mirrored in the pond below. Bare-branched trees frame the foreground, their graceful lines adding contrast and depth. The soft earth tones of the landscape, combined with the cool blue of the sky, evoke the crisp clarity of autumn days when the air is still and the land invites contemplation.

Style & Technique

In Autumn Reflections, Moss blends her folk-inspired minimalism with her sensitivity to detail. The giclée medium preserves the warmth of her watercolor washes and the crispness of her ink outlines, giving texture to the stonework, the trees, and the reflection in the water. Her palette of golden ochres, russets, and muted browns is balanced by cooler hues in the sky and water, creating harmony across the composition. The bare trees, painted in delicate sweeping lines, add lyrical movement to the otherwise quiet scene.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of this artwork is reflective, serene, and timeless. Moss was inspired by the historic mills, barns, and stone structures of the Shenandoah Valley, many of which she immortalized in her works. Autumn Reflections speaks to continuity—how buildings endure across generations, silently witnessing the changing seasons. The reflection in the water underscores themes of introspection and the passage of time, reminding viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty of stillness.

Placement & Gift Ideas

With its tranquil imagery and warm autumn palette, Autumn Reflections makes a striking addition to dining rooms, entryways, or living spaces, where it can inspire calm and gratitude. It also pairs beautifully with rustic, farmhouse, or traditional décor, complementing both seasonal and year-round displays.

As a gift, this giclée is meaningful for anniversaries, retirements, Thanksgiving, or housewarmings. It will particularly resonate with collectors of Moss’s landscapes and architectural works, as well as anyone who appreciates the serenity of autumn.
