Jack-O-Lantern 1 by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

P. Buckley Moss’s Jack-O-Lantern 1 is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print that belongs to both the Moss Halloween Collection and the Moss Pumpkin Collection. This playful artwork brings to life one of Halloween’s most iconic symbols—the smiling jack-o’-lantern—presented with Moss’s signature charm and storytelling flair.

The composition features a bright orange pumpkin carved with a cheerful face, wearing an oversized witch’s hat tipped at a jaunty angle. Strands of straw hair peek out from under the brim, adding rustic detail and personality. The jack-o’-lantern rests on a black pedestal, transforming the pumpkin into a whimsical character ready to greet trick-or-treaters or bring festive joy into the home.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s folk-inspired style, Jack-O-Lantern 1 combines bold shape with playful detail. The pumpkin glows in warm shades of orange, contrasted by the deep black of the witch’s hat and pedestal. Loose sketch-like lines for the straw “hair” introduce a sense of spontaneity and humor.

The giclée process captures the richness of Moss’s original work with archival quality, preserving both the strong contrasts and the softer details. Signed and numbered by the artist, each limited edition print carries Moss’s mark of authenticity and artistry.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Jack-O-Lantern 1 is joyful, festive, and lighthearted. Instead of focusing on spookiness, Moss turns the jack-o’-lantern into a character full of warmth and humor. With its wide grin and playful hat, this piece captures the excitement of Halloween in a way that appeals to both children and adults alike.

It evokes fond memories of carving pumpkins, dressing up in costumes, and enjoying the magic of autumn nights.

Placement & Gift Ideas
