Peace Series

Peace is a collection of original Christmas tree paintings by expressionist painter Melissa Lea, beginning in 2022 with Peace For The Journey, the first painting in the series.

Inspired by the holiday tradition of exploring decorated neighborhoods, the series captures the pleasure of glimpsing a neighbor’s Christmas tree through an open curtain. We see only part of the scene, leaving room to imagine the people, celebrations, and traditions beyond the window.

Painted intuitively on canvas and paper, each Christmas tree has its own personality, expressed through layered color, movement, and luminosity. The Peace Series brings a contemporary interpretation to a familiar holiday tradition, celebrating the warmth, individuality, and beauty of the Christmas season.
