Magic in the Air 2 by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

P. Buckley Moss’s Magic in the Air 2 is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from the Moss Halloween Collection, Moss Sketch Collection and Black Cat Collection. This enchanting black-and-white piece continues Moss’s celebration of Halloween through whimsy, innocence, and imagination.

The artwork features a young witch seated on a broomstick, her oversized hat pointed playfully skyward. At her side, a sleek black cat perches comfortably on the broom, its tail curling in balance with the scene. The witch’s calm expression and simple gown, adorned with a crescent moon, add a sense of charm and serenity. Together, the pair capture the magic of companionship, imagination, and the timeless spirit of Halloween.

Style & Technique

As a lithograph, Magic in the Air 2 reflects Moss’s beloved sketch style, where expressive linework and shading convey warmth and detail without the use of color. The composition is clean yet full of storytelling—the witch’s posture, the curve of her hat, and the cat’s quiet presence all lend character to the scene.

The simplicity of black-and-white emphasizes form and imagination, inviting viewers to focus on the personalities of the figures. Signed and numbered by Moss, each limited edition print carries her unmistakable artistry and authenticity.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Magic in the Air 2 is whimsical, gentle, and endearing. While witches and black cats are often tied to folklore and superstition, Moss reimagines them as friendly, approachable, and filled with lighthearted magic. The artwork celebrates not fear, but the playful spirit of Halloween, making it both festive and timeless.

It is also a companion to Magic in the Air 1, and together the two prints form a delightful pair that highlights Moss’s gift for storytelling through minimal yet expressive imagery.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Magic in the Air 2 is a versatile piece, perfect for Halloween decorating but also charming enough for year-round display. It works beautifully in entryways, dining rooms, or family spaces, where its whimsical imagery can spark smiles. For children’s rooms or playrooms, it inspires imagination and wonder without being spooky.

As a gift, this lithograph is an ideal choice for Moss collectors, Halloween enthusiasts, or cat lovers. It makes a thoughtful present for fall birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings, especially when paired with Magic in the Air 1 as a collectible set.
