Description
Our Black Barn Remarque 68 by P. Buckley Moss
Introduction
Our Black Barn Remarque 68 by P. Buckley Moss is a one-of-a-kind hand-enhanced version of her 2020 limited-edition giclée Our Black Barn. The underlying image celebrates a black Ohio barn surrounded by pumpkins, flowers, towering sunflowers, and harvest color. In Remarque 68, Moss returned to the printed image and added original hand-painted details, transforming this individual impression into a work that cannot be duplicated by another numbered print in the edition.
Our Black Barn Remarque 68 makes those additions especially engaging. Black cats move across the foreground, a whimsical autumn figure appears at left, and a bird rises above the harvest scene, while the original barn, pumpkins, sunflowers, American flag, and figure remain central to the composition.
The standard Our Black Barn print comes from a limited edition; this particular remarqued impression, #68, is one of a kind because of Moss’s individual additions. It is offered in new, mint condition with a Certificate of Authenticity for $500.
Story Behind the Artwork
The Black Barn has a documented connection to the Waynesville/Lebanon, Ohio area. Canada Goose Gallery’s records identify the original Our Black Barn watercolor as the source used to create the print edition and classify the location as Lebanon, Ohio. The original watercolor combines the black barn with pumpkins, sunflowers, flowers, cats, and an American flag. Canada Goose Art
That history becomes especially relevant with a remarque. Moss first created the original watercolor, which became the basis for the limited-edition print. She then revisited selected individual prints and added new artwork by hand.
On Our Black Barn Remarque 68, those additions turn the foreground into a livelier autumn narrative. The cats are not simply repeated printed details shared by every impression; the supplied gallery information identifies the remarque additions as hand-painted by Moss. The result occupies an interesting position between a limited-edition print and individually created artwork: the underlying image belongs to the edition, while the added artwork belongs specifically to this impression.
Symbols & Meaning
The black barn establishes the rural center of the composition, while pumpkins and sunflowers create a strong harvest connection. The American flag introduces a recognizable note of Americana.
Sunflowers have broad cultural associations with warmth and vitality, while pumpkins have become closely associated in American culture with harvest and autumn traditions. The cats add movement, curiosity, and humor to a scene otherwise structured around the barn and harvest display.
Because these elements are combined with hand-painted additions unique to Remarque 68, collectors can also read the image on two levels: first as Moss’s Our Black Barn composition and second as her individual embellishment of this particular print. Symbolic interpretations should not be treated as documented statements of Moss’s intention.
Artistic Details
The 17⁷⁄₁₆-inch horizontal format gives Moss room to build the scene almost panoramically. The black barn occupies the center, its dark surface providing a dramatic background for white lettering, the American flag, colorful flowers, and brilliant orange pumpkins.
The sunflowers are particularly effective. Their yellow-orange petals and dark centers repeat the warm colors of the pumpkins while creating a dense vertical passage on the right. Against them, the barn’s black façade becomes even more pronounced.
Our Black Barn Remarque 68 adds another visual layer. The individually painted cats across the lower foreground create a sequence of dark shapes that echoes the barn while drawing the viewer across the width of the image. At left, the whimsical hand-painted figure and bird introduce additional personality to this particular impression.
That is the key artistic distinction: the giclée supplies the shared composition; Moss’s hand-painted additions distinguish #68 from the other impressions.
Featured Master Collections
Primary Master Collection — Rare & Remarkable
Unlike an ordinary numbered impression, Remarque 68 contains unique, hand-painted additions by P. Buckley Moss. That documented distinction makes Rare & Remarkable appropriate here. The classification is based specifically on the individual hand-enhanced character of this print—not simply on its limited-edition status.
Supporting Master Collection — Harvest & Thanksgiving
Pumpkins, sunflowers, fall color, and the harvest display are major components of the composition. The approved Harvest & Thanksgiving collection specifically encompasses autumn landscapes, barns, pumpkins, farm life, and harvest imagery.
Supporting Master Collection — The Heart of Rural America
The barn and rural Ohio setting create a strong secondary connection to The Heart of Rural America. Canada Goose Gallery’s inventory also classifies other Our Black Barn remarques under barn, autumn/fall, nature, and related rural subjects. 11 — Approved CGG Product and I…
Decorating Ideas
With black, sunflower yellow, pumpkin orange, green, and blue as dominant colors, Our Black Barn Remarque 68 can become a strong focal point in Americana, Country, Modern Farmhouse, Collected Home, and Traditional interiors.
Its unusually long horizontal format makes it especially suitable above a console, desk, sideboard, mantel arrangement, or in a kitchen or dining area where the harvest imagery feels particularly natural.
The pumpkins and sunflowers give it obvious autumn decorating appeal, but the Ohio barn, American flag, cats, and hand-painted additions provide collector interest beyond seasonal display.
Gift Ideas
Remarque 68 is particularly well suited to an established P. Buckley Moss collector who understands the distinction between a regular numbered print and an individually enhanced remarque.
It also has meaningful possibilities for an Ohio collector, barn enthusiast, cat lover, autumn decorator, or someone with connections to the Waynesville/Lebanon area. Because this particular impression contains hand-painted additions by Moss, it can mark a significant birthday, anniversary, retirement, or collector milestone without relying on unsupported claims about future value.
About the Edition
Our Black Barn was issued in 2020 as a numbered limited-edition giclée on paper.
Standard numbered edition: Supplied as 300
Artist’s Proofs: 25
This impression: Remarque #68
Image size: 6¾ × 17⁷⁄₁₆ inches

Special distinction: Original hand-painted additions by P. Buckley Moss; this specific remarque is one of a kind.
There is an edition-size inconsistency in the available CGG records that should be resolved before publication: the supplied information states 300 + 25 APs, while another current CGG Our Black Barn remarque record lists an edition size of 250. This does not affect the verified uniqueness of Remarque 68’s individual hand-painted additions, but the base edition number should be confirmed before publishing it as structured product data.

🎨 Fun Fact:
The word “remarque” comes from printmaking tradition, where it originally referred to a small mark or sketch added in the margin of a printing plate or proof. Over time, collectors came to value such additions because they revealed something beyond the repeated image itself—the direct intervention of the artist. Our Black Barn Remarque 68 takes that idea considerably further: Moss’s hand-painted additions become visible participants in the composition rather than a tiny marginal notation. The result helps illustrate an important distinction in print collecting: two impressions may begin with the same printed image, yet direct handwork by the artist can make an individual impression visually unique.
🖼️ Collector’s Insight:
The most important collector distinction in Our Black Barn Remarque 68 is not merely that it belongs to a limited edition—it is that Moss returned to this particular impression and changed it by hand. The underlying Our Black Barn composition connects #68 with the larger edition, while the individually painted cats and other additions give this example its own visual identity. That makes comparison with other Black Barn remarques especially interesting: CGG records document Remarques 69, 70, and 72 with different subjects and enhancements, demonstrating that the remarque treatment was not simply a repeated embellishment. 11 — Approved CGG Product and I… For a collector, #68 therefore represents both the familiar Black Barn image and a specific instance of Moss working directly on an individual print.
