Hangin’ in the Pumpkin Patch by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Hangin’ in the Pumpkin Patch by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print that brings together three of Moss’s most beloved themes—the Moss Halloween Collection, the Moss Pumpkin Collection, and the Black Cat Collection. This charming artwork celebrates the beauty of autumn’s harvest while weaving in playful details that invite a closer look.

The scene depicts a lively cluster of bright orange pumpkins resting on the earth, their curling vines stretching out in whimsical arcs. Hidden among them are sleek black cats, their eyes peeking mischievously from the shadows, adding an element of surprise and delight. In the background, colorful wildflowers and grasses sway, softening the scene with hints of pink, blue, and orange. Together, these elements create a joyful tribute to the abundance and playful spirit of fall.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s signature folk-art style, the giclée captures both the warmth of natural forms and the whimsy of imagination. The pumpkins are rich and textured in shades of orange and gold, contrasting with the bold silhouettes of the cats. Loose, expressive linework in the vines adds movement, while the pastel-like flowers introduce pops of gentle color that balance the composition.

The giclée process preserves Moss’s layered tones and fine details, ensuring the vibrancy of this autumnal scene remains timeless. Signed and numbered by the artist, each edition offers collectors a lasting piece of Moss’s artistry.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Hangin’ in the Pumpkin Patch is cheerful, playful, and inviting. While pumpkins have long been symbols of harvest abundance and black cats are often tied to folklore and mystery, Moss presents both with warmth and humor. The result is a piece that celebrates Halloween not through fright, but through charm and whimsy—an ode to the joys of autumn days and festive nights.

It is a reminder of seasonal traditions: visits to pumpkin patches, laughter among friends, and the lighthearted spirit that makes fall so beloved.
