Baylor University is a private Baptist research university in Waco, Texas. It was chartered in 1845 by the last Congress of the Republic of Texas. Baylor is the oldest continuously operating university in Texas and one of the first educational institutions west of the Mississippi River in the United States. Located on the banks of the Brazos River, the university's 1,000-acre campus is the largest Baptist university in the world and is affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
As of Fall 2023, Baylor had a total enrollment of 20,824 students (15,155 undergraduate and 5,669 graduate). It is one of 146 U.S. universities classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very High Research Activity". The university grants undergraduate and graduate degrees, including doctoral and professional degrees. Baylor University's athletic teams, known as the Bears and Lady Bears, participate in 19 intercollegiate sports. The university is a member of the Big 12 Conference in NCAA Division I.
The mural above is painted on one of the buildings in Downtown Waco and features Baylor along with an NCAA Championship trophy (for basketball) which was won in 2021 by the men's basketball program. Also included on the mural is a silhouette of the historic ALICO building, the Waco logo & area code, and silhouettes of the county courthouse clock tower, the historic Waco Suspension Bridge, and the Magnolia Silos.

This mural was completed by artist Seth Bishop in September 2022. It is located in historic downtown Sevierville, Tennessee on The Pines building at the corner of Court Avenue and Joy Street. The artwork honors its building’s history as a theater by featuring five of the most famous talents who performed on its stage: (from left to right) singer Roy Acuff, comedian Archie Campbell, superstar Dolly Parton (where 10-year-old Dolly first performed in front of a paying audience on the Cas Walker Farm and Home Tour radio show in 1956), singer-songwriter June Carter Cash, and musician Chet Atkins.
Though the painting was completed in about 12 days, “these things seem to take a year from the conception of the idea to completion,” says Seth Bishop, mural artist. “The original concept was to have several different performers all on stage together, but with such a long list of people it wasn’t going to work to do an image from the audience view. In the best-case scenario, those people would have been life-size, but when painting a face on a brick surface from that distance they wouldn’t be recognizable—that wasn’t going to work!” To fit larger-than-life images into the planned space, the list of potential stars to include was narrowed down from more than a dozen to the five most recognizable and influential. Bishop searched the Internet for pictures of each performer at the age that they were when performing at The Pines Theater. Once he finalized the lineup and composition, he worked on style, images, and colors. When the specific location on the wall was finalized, a bit more space was available than originally anticipated, so Bishop was able to expand the original design and complete the mural seen above.

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter. He was one of the main figures of the outlaw country subgenre that developed in the late 1960's as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound and member of country supergroup The Highwaymen, along with fellow singers Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Nelson has acted in over 30 films and co-authored several books making him one of the most recognized artists in country music.
Nelson was born in Abbott, Texas which is just 10 miles south of Hillsboro, Texas. He wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten. Later, he attended Abbott High School, where he was a halfback on the football team, guard on the basketball team, and shortstop in baseball. He also raised pigs with the Future Farmers of America. While still in high school, he sang and played guitar in The Texans, a band formed by his sister's husband, Bud Fletcher. The band played in honky-tonks, and also had a Sunday morning spot at KHBR in Hillsboro. The mural above is painted on the side of a multi-story building located just off of court square in Hillsboro as well. It features Willie in the later part of his life with his long braids and the iconic cowboy hat.
"I used to work in the cotton fields a lot when I was young. There were a lot of African Americans working out there. A lot of Mexicans - the blacks and the whites and the Mexicans, all out there singing, and it was like an opera in the cotton fields, and I can still hear it in the music that I write and play today."
-- Willie Nelson
