The Undoing of America
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.

September 2023 closed in an atmosphere of deep political division, economic strain, and growing anxiety over the nation’s direction. Border pressures, inflation concerns, international instability, and the sharpening 2024 presidential contest intensified debate over whether core institutions were weakening under cumulative stress. Undoing of America reflects that mood of national unraveling. The silence on the top issues facing America and the World are deafening. Biden slips deeper into trouble as he denies "Not Hunter's Laptop,
Not my Inflation, Not my Grandchild, Not my Cocaine, Not my Business with Hunter, Not my Money and this is Biden's Legacy.
Biden addressed the U.N. General Assembly and opens with the World in Crisis but only ONE of FIVE key World Powers attended which is humiliating and embarrassing for the U.S. We have lost our seat at the table under Joe Biden. World leaders do NOT take us seriously under the Biden Administration.
McCarthy denies Zelenskyy's request to address the Joint Session of Congress as Zelenskyy comes Hat in Hand to ask for $24 Billion more aid for his War from America's Taxpayers. We are done with protecting Ukraine's Border instead of our own!
What about the devastation in Maui? $1.9 Million? Where is the money for our states and our people?
It was just released that Pelosi worked with FBI to orchestrate January 6th as former Capitol Police Chief Sund testifies he had 3 calls with Pelosi on Jan.6th and Pelosi said "They Never Spoke"...but Sund had the receipts! They are not only covering for Biden...they are covering for Obama as well as he seems to be running things from the Shadows.
Garland "testilies"again before Congress with no answers given. Jim Jordan says the "fix is in" on DOJ and FBI as we never get any concrete info on anything. Can't comment on ongoing investigations is the go-to response from the Biden teams.The debt ceiling is looming on September 30th Fund or Shut Down? Again? Auto Worker strike 3 Major Manufacturers and Joe is for Unions. Ken Paxton was acquitted of all Impeachment charges on 9/16. Paxton tells Biden Administration to "Buckle Up" and his Lawyer says "The Bush Regime Ends Today." WOW Hunter sues the IRS! FOX Debate is September 27th at the Reagan Library... who will be there? Trump...Nope! Trump will address Autoworkers in Detroit that night.
And weirdly... Zelenskyy asks Trump for his Peace Plan? And in final news the "Spies Who Lied" Clapper and Brennan have been rewarded again for their letter on disinformation on the Hunter Laptop fiasco and have been appointed to a New recently announced "Homeland Security Group" by the Biden Administration..
The U.S. Government just lost a F-35 Fighter Jet. Undoing of America speaks to fears that decline can occur gradually through mismanagement, division, and loss of confidence rather than through one sudden event. The painting preserves a period when many Americans believed the country stood at a consequential crossroads.
