Content & Subject

“Trick or Treat Fun” by P. Buckley Moss is a lively signed and numbered limited edition lithograph that beautifully captures the spirit of Halloween night. At the center is a classic American home with a welcoming front porch, glowing warmly as children in costumes gather for an evening of treats and laughter. A little ghost, a bumblebee, and other costumed figures carry small lanterns and bags, while a proud jack-o’-lantern and a friendly scarecrow add to the seasonal atmosphere.

A black cat, an enduring Moss favorite, slips across the scene, adding just the right touch of Halloween mystery.
