America is Back
Every painting in Chronicle of an Unquiet Age documents the defining events, people, and issues that shaped its moment in history. Created in real time as events unfolded, each work serves as both an original oil painting and a historical record, reflecting the belief that the news of today is the history of tomorrow.

March 2025 carried a tone of renewed national confidence as supporters of the new direction pointed to stronger markets, firmer border policy, assertive diplomacy, and a return to patriotic symbolism. After years of decline narratives and internal division, many argued the country was regaining momentum at home and abroad. America Is Back captures that resurgence message. Signals of economic optimism, military readiness, trade leverage, energy expansion, campaign-style rallies, and media reaction are layered together to portray a nation debating whether revival was truly underway. Zelenskky comes to the Oval and gets schooled by the "Boss" President Trump. As the media and America watch Trump schools Zelenskky on what was really going on. "U.S. is NOT going to Play Games.You are gambling with World War Three. You are not being Thankful and that is not a nice thing." Zelenskky showed disrespect for America and very poor judgement with eye rolling and arrogance. And is summarily asked to leave the White House. Trump's "America First" stance is leading to inflation numbers down, gas prices down, egg prices cracking, peace talks with Putin and Zelenskyy, Israel and Hamas and Illegal border crossings down 93% lowest ever recorded. March 4th President Trump addresses the Joint Session of Congress and touts wealth, common sense, optimisim and safety. Democrats do not stand or applaud for any of the heros but they clap to continue the killing in Ukraine.. Al Green is ejected from the speech and is censured as he vows to file articles of impeachment against Trump yet again. Biden's Presidency was almost entirely run by the "Autopen."
Preident of Argentina Milei gifts Elon Musk a "Golden Chainsaw to cut Bureacracy" and Musk states
"Misinformation is just information you do not like." Elon also announces the IP address from the cyberattack on X originated in Ukraine. America is Back functions as declaration and political branding at once. The painting preserves a moment when renewed strength became both a promise and a point of contention in public life.
