Description
Seasons of Love Autumn by P. Buckley Moss
Introduction
Seasons of Love Autumn by P. Buckley Moss is a rare 2005 limited, numbered edition lithograph created as a P. Buckley Moss Society Members-Only Print. A man rakes fallen leaves while a child plays nearby, with a white farmhouse rising behind them and a broad ring of pumpkins surrounding the scene.
The composition is warm, playful, and distinctly seasonal. Moss turns an ordinary autumn task into a circular family vignette, using pumpkins, leaves, home, and figures to connect fall with everyday life rather than with a formal holiday scene.
Canada Goose Gallery’s approved inventory identifies Seasons of Love Autumn as Product ID 2971, a Rare limited-edition lithograph currently priced at $100.
Story Behind the Artwork
The central action is simple: one adult gathers leaves while a child moves through the yard nearby. Behind them stands a white farmhouse, providing a stable domestic center for the seasonal activity.
What makes the composition unusual is the ring of pumpkins surrounding the scene. Rather than placing a few pumpkins beside a porch or fence, Moss carries them around much of the image, almost like a seasonal border. That device turns the landscape into a contained autumn story.
The title also matters because this print belongs to the larger Seasons of Love group. Seasons of Love Spring, Seasons of Love Summer, Seasons of Love Autumn, and Seasons of Love Winter were issued across successive years and are available together through Canada Goose Gallery as a matched-numbered set. The gallery’s set page confirms all four prints and states that the numbers match across the set.
Symbols & Meaning
Pumpkins provide the clearest connection to harvest and autumn, while the rake and fallen leaves make seasonal work part of the story. The house introduces home and continuity, and the child adds playfulness to what might otherwise be an ordinary yard chore.
Because this artwork belongs to a four-part series titled Seasons of Love, it is reasonable to discuss the way the series connects affection, family life, and the passing year. However, no supplied artist statement explains the specific symbolic meaning of the pumpkins, rake, or figures in this individual print.
Artistic Details
The circular composition is one of the strongest features of Seasons of Love Autumn. Instead of extending into a wide landscape, the image gathers the viewer inward.
The man forms the central vertical element, while the child creates movement to the left and the farmhouse provides architectural balance behind them. Pumpkins repeat around the outer edge, creating rhythm through shape and color.
Canada Goose Gallery currently records a palette including ash gray, black, brown, charcoal gray, emerald green, orange red, pearl white, and tangerine orange. The bright pumpkins and warm background dominate the seasonal impression, while black clothing gives the central figure visual weight.
The image measures 7½ × 8⅛ inches, allowing the circular design to feel intimate rather than expansive.
Featured Master Collections
Primary Master Collection: Harvest & Thanksgiving
This is the strongest assignment because pumpkins, fallen leaves, autumn activity, and seasonal family life dominate the composition.
Supporting Master Collection: Family & Legacy
The adult-and-child pairing and the broader Seasons of Love concept create a strong connection to family relationships and the passage of time.
Supporting Master Collection: Childhood & Storytelling
The child is an important narrative participant rather than a background figure, and the image captures ordinary seasonal play within a larger domestic scene.
Supporting Master Collection: The American Home
The farmhouse establishes the setting and provides continuity across the family-and-season story.
Supporting Master Collection: Rare & Remarkable
Canada Goose Gallery verifies this work as Rare, and the Members-Only issue history gives collectors an additional documented reason to place it within a specialized collector pathway.
Decorating Ideas
The orange, brown, black, cream, and muted green palette makes Seasons of Love Autumn especially easy to incorporate into Traditional, Americana, Farmhouse, Cottage, and Collected Home interiors.
Its compact near-square size works well in an entryway, kitchen, family room, dining area, hallway, or seasonal gallery wall. The circular composition can provide a useful visual contrast when grouped with rectangular Moss prints.
For collectors who own the full Seasons of Love group, the four works can be displayed together as a year-round sequence or rotated as each season arrives.
Gift Ideas
This print is a natural gift for a longtime Moss collector, a parent or grandparent, someone who loves autumn and pumpkins, or a collector interested in Moss Society Members-Only Prints.
It is also well suited to fall birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, Thanksgiving, or a gift for someone who already owns another print from the Seasons of Love group.
About the Members-Only Edition
Seasons of Love Autumn was the 2005 P. Buckley Moss Society Members-Only Print. Historical Society records list it between Seasons of Love Summer in 2004 and Seasons of Love Winter in 2006, confirming that the four images were issued sequentially as annual Members-Only works.
That history is more meaningful than simply calling the work “rare.” It places this print within a documented collector program and explains why Autumn belongs naturally with the other three seasonal prints.

🎨 Fun Fact:
Before leaf blowers became part of autumn yard work, raking was one of the most familiar seasonal hand chores—but rakes also have a much older agricultural history. Smithsonian collections preserve specialized horse-drawn and mechanical rakes from the 19th century that were developed for gathering hay and grain, including designs intended to reduce the amount of hand labor required on farms. The simple hand rake in Seasons of Love Autumn therefore belongs to a tool family that has served both farm work and household seasonal cleanup for generations.
🖼️ Collector’s Insight:
What distinguishes Seasons of Love Autumn is the combination of series history and composition. The pumpkin ring gives this particular season an immediately recognizable visual identity, while the adult-and-child yard scene keeps the work grounded in ordinary family life. Its strongest collector connection is documented rather than speculative: it was the 2005 Moss Society Members-Only Print and forms one quarter of the four-part Seasons of Love sequence. For collectors who own Spring, Summer, or Winter, Autumn completes an established seasonal narrative rather than merely adding another fall print.
