Our Black Barn by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Our Black Barn by P. Buckley Moss is a hand-signed,  numbered, limited edition giclée that celebrates the spirit of harvest, community, and Americana. Belonging to the Moss Fall Collection, Historic Landmark Collection, and Pumpkin Collection, this artwork captures the charm of a well-loved landmark barn that serves as both a symbol of tradition and a gathering place for autumn abundance.

The focal point is a striking black barn with bold white lettering across its side, announcing its identity as The Black Barn. A vibrant autumn market scene unfolds in front—pumpkins stacked high, flowers in bloom, and a vendor holding an American flag to welcome visitors. Surrounding the barn are tall fields of sunflowers glowing with golden petals, their faces turned toward the viewer. Playful black cats wander through the scene, adding a touch of whimsy and seasonal folklore.

Style & Technique

Rendered in the fine detail of a giclée print, Our Black Barn preserves Moss’s masterful balance of folk-art storytelling and painterly richness. The barn’s bold black silhouette contrasts beautifully with the warm oranges of the pumpkins and the bright yellows of the sunflowers. Her use of perspective draws the eye across the scene—from the wide expanse of the fields to the intimate details of market life.

The composition brims with seasonal energy, showcasing Moss’s talent for blending architectural landmarks with the vibrancy of nature and daily life. Each brushstroke highlights her appreciation for color, contrast, and detail, making the scene feel both festive and timeless.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Our Black Barn is joyful, celebratory, and deeply rooted in tradition. It evokes memories of harvest festivals, roadside stands, and the anticipation of autumn gatherings. The American flag held proudly by the figure symbolizes not only community pride but also Moss’s enduring love for America’s rural heritage.

Moss often finds inspiration in places where history and daily life intersect. The barn itself becomes a landmark of memory—representing both the past and the present, the simplicity of farm life and the richness of community celebrations.
