Content & Subject

Pumpkin House by P. Buckley Moss is a delightful giclée print that celebrates the warmth, whimsy, and magic of fall traditions. This artwork portrays the historic Joseph Samuel Miller House, famously decorated with an enchanting collection of glowing pumpkins across its porch, lawn, and railings. Each pumpkin is carved with a personality of its own, from smiling jack-o’-lanterns to quirky, expressive faces that seem to welcome visitors into a world of festive charm.

The stately Victorian home, draped in American flags, stands tall against the dusky evening sky. The deep blues, warm oranges, and earthy browns bring the autumn scene to life, evoking memories of cool October nights, community gatherings, and the cozy anticipation of Halloween. Moss captures not only the architectural beauty of the home but also the joyful spirit of the season.

Style & Technique

In her signature folk art style, P. Buckley Moss blends realism with charm and storytelling. The Pumpkin House giclée glows with vibrant autumn hues, emphasizing contrast between the warm orange pumpkins and the cool twilight backdrop. Moss’s careful brushwork and keen attention to architectural detail highlight the Victorian home’s character, while her playful rendering of the pumpkins adds lighthearted humor and delight.

The giclée printing process ensures crisp clarity and richness of color, capturing every detail with remarkable depth. Collectors will appreciate how Moss balances her whimsical artistry with historical preservation, making this piece both a celebration of place and season. This print is part of the Moss Halloween, Pumpkin, and Historic Landmarks Collection. 

Mood & Inspiration
