Mixed Media on 500 lb. Arches Paper, Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil Paint, and Wax on Paper, 26" x 32", 2017: Neyland Stadium is a sports stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. It serves primarily as the home of the Tennessee Volunteers football team. My daughter enrolled as a freshman at UTK this year and inspired me to paint the beautiful and powerful structure.

"It is just like building a football program. Everyone has to be totally aligned. Whether it is our support staff, training staff, equipment staff, coaching staff or our players, we’re looking for everyone to be all aligned. That’s kind of where the ‘brick by brick’ started and it is the basis of a foundation" ~ Butch Jones on 'Brick by Brick'

In the Heart of Knoxville

By Eric Buechel

In the heart of Knoxville, where the rivers flow, Beneath the towering mountains, where the warm breezes blow. The sun rises softly, casting golden hues, On the streets filled with laughter, and the stories we choose.

With buildings of brick, and a history so rich, From the Market Square hustle to the old Smoky pitch. The echoes of music drift through the air, As the spirit of culture finds a home everywhere.

The Tennessee River, a shimmering thread, Winds through the valleys where countless dreams tread. Parks filled with green, where children can play, In the heart of Knoxville, life dances each day.

From the vibrant festivals that light up the night, To the warmth of the people, who make everything right. In the heart of Knoxville, a community thrives, Where each moment is cherished, and each heart truly strives.

So here's to Knoxville, with its charm and its grace, A city of memories, a welcoming place. In the heart of Knoxville, where dreams intertwine, A tapestry woven, forever will shine.
