Legacy of Secrets
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.

Conceived as Part I of the Diptych Divided We Stand, Legacy of Secrets was created alongside its companion work, Truth Will Tell, to examine the parallel challenges facing both major presidential candidates during the 2024 election cycle. Focusing on the controversies, investigations, and political challenges surrounding President Joe Biden's bid for reelection.
Legacy of Secrets was exhibited alongside its companion piece in the California Heritage Museum's
"Anything Goes Exhibition" in Santa Monica, California, September 9–30, 2023.
September 2023 remained defined by overlapping investigations, campaign maneuvering, and continued debate over accountability at the highest levels of government. Questions involving classified documents, congressional inquiries, and the approaching 2024 race kept secrecy and disclosure at the center of public attention. Legacy of Secrets reflects that atmosphere of unresolved controversy.
Was Biden complicit in Hunter's Business Dealings? 170 Suspicious Activity Reports SAR's seem to telegraph he was. Hunter's former Business partner Devon Archer testified before the Oversight Committee detailing Joe was on the phone with him and Hunter at Business meetings at least 20 times and as described he was a part of calls to foreign associates and then "The Cash Began to Flow." There were numerous calls and meetings at Cafe Milano with foreign business associates including the Mayor of Moscow's ex-wife who transferred Hunter $5 Million dollars after a call with Joe. Exchanging niceties and talking about the weather is not a crime but the conversations telegraphed the accessibility to the Vice President and access is what they were paying for! "Common sense is not a fruit that grows on everyone's tree."
Hunter's plea deal just fell apart as the Judge asks important questions. We have learned now that Joe is "THE BRAND" and Hunter was selling access to his Dad as VP and now as President.
Hunter was the "Closer" for all the business dealings, influence peddling and pay to play while Joe was in Office as VP till Now! Riddle me this: Did Obama know Biden took $5 Million Dollar bribe then threatened to withhold $1 Billion dollars in US Ukraine aid in order to get Shokin fired who was targeting Burisma? Makes you wonder who's covering for who?
RFK is denied any Secret Service protection and Mayorkas stated his protection is "Not warranted at this time" but wait a minute His Uncle John F. Kennedy was Assassinated and was the President of the United States and his Father RFK Senior was running for...wait for it.. President of the United States.
Why are the Democrats so dismissive of RFK's run against Biden? Makes you wonder?
