In My Garden by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

In My Garden by P. Buckley Moss is a 2002 Limited, Numbered Lithograph Edition from the P. Buckley Moss One Girl Collection.

In In My Garden, Moss invites the viewer into a peaceful, enclosed world where nature and quiet reflection coexist. A young girl stands just beyond a simple wooden fence, partially hidden among blooming flowers and soft greenery. Behind her, two rustic wooden buildings rest gently within the landscape, suggesting a rural homestead setting filled with calm and simplicity.

The circular composition frames the entire scene like a cherished memory, drawing the viewer inward. The garden itself feels alive yet tranquil, filled with delicate blossoms and subtle color variations that create a sense of depth and serenity. The girl’s presence adds a human connection, as though she is tending, observing, or simply enjoying the beauty around her.

Style & Technique

This lithograph reflects Moss’s signature folk-art style, with a delicate balance of structure and softness.

Gentle greens dominate the palette, complemented by soft floral hues of lavender, pink, and yellow. The fine linework of the fence and buildings contrasts beautifully with the looser, more expressive rendering of the garden and trees. The circular framing once again enhances the storytelling quality, giving the piece a dreamlike and intimate perspective.

Moss uses minimal detail in the figure, allowing the environment and overall mood to carry the emotional weight of the composition.
