Terror War Hope
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.

June 2025 reflected the uneasy balance between fear and resilience in a volatile world. Terror threats, regional conflict, security alerts, and continuing geopolitical tension collided with public demands for stability, deterrence, and a path forward. Terror War Hope captures those competing emotions within a single frame.
June is now declared Veteran Appreciation Month. Defense Secretary Hegseth orders all transgenders exit the Military by June 6th. Chinese nationals are arrested for smuggling potential bioweapons into the U.S.
"Agro-terrorism" is now a huge threat to the homeland for our livestock and food supply. The Trump-Musk "Bromance" seems on the skids as their friendship gets "Doged" Elon is pissed over the cuts in EV subsidies and the Big Beautiful Bill. Biden's Autopen scandal explodes as top Biden aides are called to testify about use of the Autopen by people other than the President. Biden's doctor Kevin O'Connor is set to testify before Congress June 27th. Did O'connor cover for Joe's medical conditions? Did he do it for financial gain?
June 1st an Egyptian illegal alien threw a home made flame throwers and molotov cocktails into a crowd of Jews at Boulder CO event. Mohammed Soliman yelled "Free Free Palestine." Oh yeah and he lit himself on fire in the process. Zelenskyy and Ukraine pull of a "Pearl Harbor Attack" deep inside Russia and June 5th Trump speaks with Putin with no peace deal insight. Former Press Secretary for Biden, Karine Jean Pierre AKA "Binder" has a new Book and now announces she is leaving the Democrat Party to become an Independent. Terror Hope War places three powerful forces side by side. Rather than offering resolution, the painting preserves a moment when modern life seemed suspended between violence, conflict, and the enduring search for hope.
