"Sunday Morning In Nashville", Oil on Canvas, 28" x 40", By Eric Buechel 2018

Once more, I decided to immerse myself in the artistic process by painting my favorite city, Nashville, and a particular segment of its iconic skyline that captivates my imagination. It might seem odd to some, but what I truly cherish about Nashville is not just its vibrant music scene or its bustling nightlife, but rather the serene and tranquil moments that unfold throughout the city, especially during the early hours of a peaceful Sunday morning.


On these quiet mornings, I find myself particularly drawn to the subtle beauty of the city as it awakens slowly, with the sun casting a gentle glow over the buildings and streets. The air is filled with a sense of calm, and the usual hustle and bustle of daily life seems to fade into the background. It is during these moments that I enjoy observing the residents of this beautiful city as they go about their leisurely routines. I watch as families stroll hand-in-hand, couples enjoy coffee on outdoor patios, and individuals take their time to savor the peacefulness that envelops the streets.


The scene I have chosen to depict in my painting is located close to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, a landmark that symbolizes the rich cultural heritage of Nashville. This marks the sixth time I have painted this section of the city, and each time I approach it, I find new inspiration and fresh perspectives that compel me to capture the essence of this beloved place. The skyline, with its distinctive architecture, serves as a backdrop to the everyday lives of the people, and I strive to convey the harmony between the urban landscape and the serene moments that define the city on a quiet Sunday morning.


Through my brushstrokes, I aim to encapsulate not just the physical attributes of Nashville, but also the feelings of contentment and tranquility that permeate the air during these special moments. Each painting becomes a testament to my love for this city and its ability to offer a peaceful retreat from the chaos of the world, reminding me of the beauty that exists in stillness and simplicity.

Stillness and Simplicity

By Eric Buechel


In the heart of the quiet night,

Where shadows dance in silver light,

Stillness wraps the world in grace,

A gentle hush, a warm embrace.

Nature breathes, a soft refrain,

Whispers carried by the rain.

Simplicity in every leaf,

A moment's peace, a sweet relief.

Stars above in endless skies,

Reflecting dreams, where silence lies.

In this space, our souls align,

Finding beauty, pure and fine.

So let us pause, let worries cease,

Embrace the stillness, find our peace.

In the quiet, life unfolds,

In simplicity, our hearts are bold.
