November Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

November Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that captures the timeless rhythm of the harvest season. Belonging to the Moss Fall Collection, Apple Collection, and One Boy One Girl Collection, this artwork reflects Moss’s deep appreciation for rural traditions and the quiet beauty of life lived close to the land.

The composition features an Amish boy and girl working together in an apple orchard. Surrounded by trees heavy with fruit, they sit on large wooden baskets, filling them with freshly picked apples. Some apples spill onto the ground, symbolizing abundance and the gifts of the season. The circular vignette framing creates an intimate window into a moment of cooperation, tradition, and gratitude.

Style & Technique

Moss’s folk-art style shines in November Artist Proof, blending simplicity with emotional depth. Her figures, elongated and graceful, convey a sense of quiet dignity and harmony. The autumn orchard is rendered in soft tones of green, gray, and red, while the apples provide vibrant pops of color, drawing the viewer’s eye to the heart of the harvest.

The lithographic medium preserves Moss’s delicate linework and layered textures, ensuring the piece feels both crisp and timeless. The circular border enhances the feeling of nostalgia, as though looking into a cherished memory preserved in time.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of November Artist Proof is peaceful, warm, and reflective. It celebrates the values of cooperation, simplicity, and gratitude. Moss often found inspiration in Amish traditions, where family and community play central roles in daily life. The apple harvest is both a practical necessity and a symbolic reminder of nature’s generosity.

For Moss, works like November Artist Proof are both tributes to tradition and invitations to pause and appreciate the blessings of each season.
