Give Peace a Chance
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.

Mid- October 2025 also brought louder calls to end conflicts that had drained resources, destabilized regions, and exhausted public patience. As wars continued abroad and global tensions threatened wider escalation, demands for diplomacy grew stronger across political lines. Give Peace A Chance captures that appeal for negotiation over endless confrontation. In an historic achievement Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiate the release of the remaining 20 living hostages held in Gaza after 738 days in captivity. Trump is being called the "Peace President" around the World. Trump signs a Peace Agreement with Egypt and Netanyahu and Hamas reach a deal for Phase One of Trump's Peace Plan. On October 16th Trump issues a message to Hamas: "If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter." Democrat Socialists of America are on the rise as they condemn the cease fire and peace deal in Gaza. These people are Anti-Peace and Pro-War and are very dangerous to our country. AOC, Mandami and Bernie Sanders are members of this radical group. NYC you have been warned. Trump meets with Zelenskyy to discuss Ukraine War and aquiring U.S. Tomahawk Missiles to use against Russia. 2,600 "No King's" Protests are scheduled across America. Who is funding these protests? Follow the Dark Money. And Democrats are keeping the Government closed for the sake of the rallys on October 18th. October 14th is "Charlie Kirk Rememberance Day" as Trump honors Kirk with the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" which would have been his 32nd Birthday. As Charlie said " Never underestimate the power of your voice and the impact you can have on the World when you speak up for what you believe in." RIP
Give Peace a Chance revives a familiar peace-era phrase in a modern context. The painting preserves in real time a moment when many people, regardless of ideology, simply wanted conflict to end before greater damage followed.
