Jack-O-Lantern 2 by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

P. Buckley Moss’s Jack-O-Lantern 2 is a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print that belongs to both the Moss Halloween Collection and the Moss Pumpkin Collection. A companion to Jack-O-Lantern 1, this artwork captures the playful charm of Halloween with Moss’s signature folk-art style and whimsy.

The piece features a glowing orange jack-o’-lantern with a wide, friendly grin, topped with a crooked black witch’s hat. Wisps of straw hair tumble down from under the hat, giving the pumpkin a quirky personality and rustic flair. The background, painted in warm tones of soft pinks and browns, allows the vibrant pumpkin to shine as the star of the composition.

Style & Technique

Moss’s approach combines bold, simple shapes with expressive details that bring character to life. The pumpkin’s carved face, with its triangular eyes and curved smile, glows warmly, while the hat and straw hair add texture and movement. Unlike the crisp white background of Jack-O-Lantern 1, the muted backdrop in Jack-O-Lantern 2 creates a softer, more atmospheric effect.

The giclée printing process preserves the richness of Moss’s color work, from the glowing orange pumpkin to the layered background. Signed and numbered, each edition is a collectible work of art, ensuring authenticity and lasting value.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Jack-O-Lantern 2 is cheerful, playful, and festive. Moss transforms a traditional Halloween pumpkin into a character full of personality, one that seems ready to join in the fun of costumes, laughter, and celebration. Rather than spooky, this artwork is lighthearted and inviting—making it perfect for families and collectors who cherish the warm, joyful side of Halloween.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Jack-O-Lantern 2 makes a wonderful seasonal accent for entryways, kitchens, or dining rooms, where its festive spirit can welcome guests with cheer. Displayed on its own or paired with Jack-O-Lantern 1, it becomes a delightful centerpiece for Halloween decorating.

As a gift, this artwork is perfect for Moss collectors, pumpkin enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the traditions of fall. It makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings, particularly in the autumn season.
