At the center of Peace And Love, a lively and animated Kris Kringle balances playfully atop a colorful globe, creating a striking and symbolic focal point. Dressed in his classic red suit with soft white trim, Santa raises one hand in cheerful celebration while holding a small, simply decorated Christmas tree in the other.

The globe beneath him is painted in vibrant, blended hues of blue, pink, and warm tones, representing the Earth in a stylized and artistic way. On either side of the globe, two gentle animals—a soft gray donkey and a small elephant—stretch outward, adding a layer of charm and symbolism. These animals evoke a sense of global unity and peace, reinforcing the idea that the holiday spirit connects all living beings.

The composition of Peace And Love is both playful and meaningful. Santa’s balancing act suggests harmony and joy, while the presence of animals and the Earth itself emphasizes themes of unity, compassion, and shared celebration. The small Christmas tree, delicately held, symbolizes tradition and the spreading of joy across the world.

Moss uses a clean, minimal background to ensure the focus remains on the figures and their symbolic arrangement. This simplicity allows the message of the piece to shine clearly—a universal wish for peace and love during the holiday season.

Style & Technique

P. Buckley Moss’s signature artistic style is beautifully expressed in Peace And Love, combining soft watercolor washes with expressive linework to create a piece that feels both lighthearted and meaningful.

Santa is rendered with loose, confident brushstrokes that give him movement and personality. The red tones of his suit are layered subtly, creating depth while maintaining the softness of the watercolor medium.

The globe is particularly striking, with blended colors that flow seamlessly into one another, giving it an almost dreamlike quality. This painterly approach enhances the symbolic nature of the Earth, making it feel vibrant and alive.

The animals are depicted with minimal yet expressive detail, adding warmth and whimsy without distracting from the central composition. Moss’s ability to convey emotion with simple lines and gentle color is a hallmark of her work.

As a limited, numbered giclée, Peace And Love preserves the delicate textures, color transitions, and expressive qualities of the original painting. The high-quality printing process ensures collectors receive a piece that reflects Moss’s artistry with clarity and depth.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Peace And Love is uplifting, joyful, and deeply meaningful. Moss draws inspiration from the universal themes of the holiday season—kindness, generosity, and connection—and expands them into a global message.

By placing Santa atop the world, Moss transforms a familiar holiday figure into a symbol of unity and shared humanity. The inclusion of animals further reinforces the idea that peace and love extend beyond borders and species.

The playful balance of Santa suggests harmony, while the bright colors of the globe and the small Christmas tree evoke celebration and hope. The artwork feels like a visual expression of a holiday wish—one that transcends geography and culture.
