I’m Flying by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

P. Buckley Moss’s I’m Flying is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from the Moss Halloween Collection. This whimsical piece captures the magic and imagination of Halloween night, blending the joy of childhood play with Moss’s signature folk-art charm.

The artwork features a cheerful young witch soaring across a sky of swirling blue, her oversized black hat tilted playfully as she clutches her broomstick. A bright pink scarf dotted with stars flutters behind her, adding warmth and movement. Below, her loyal black cat bounds forward, keeping pace in perfect harmony with her flight. Together, the pair embody the thrill of adventure, friendship, and the belief that anything is possible.

Style & Technique

As a lithograph, I’m Flying showcases Moss’s mastery of line, color, and storytelling. The circular frame of the sky, painted in textured shades of blue and white, creates a magical, dreamlike atmosphere. The bold black shapes of the witch and cat stand out sharply, while the pink scarf and golden broom add bright pops of color that bring the composition to life.

Moss’s sketch-like figures and minimal details are balanced with rich storytelling. Each element—the tilt of the witch’s hat, the cat’s leaping stride, the flowing scarf—works together to create a scene that is both lively and enchanting. Signed and numbered, every limited edition print carries Moss’s authenticity and artistry.
