Located in the Appalachian region of East Tennessee, The City of Knoxville sprawls over ridges and across valleys to include close to one million people within its metro area. From the vantage point in this fantastic painting, we observe the Tennessee amphitheater's white silhouette along with the iconic golden Sunsphere – brought to the city in 1982 for the locally hosted World's Fair. Distant cranes amongst blue glass towers reflect a robust and progressive economy as they melt into a hazy Southern sky.
