Shady Grove — Austin Wall Art by Betsy Crum
This is the roadside sign for Shady Grove, the much-loved restaurant that held down Barton Springs Road until 2020. Betsy paints it low and steady against a big evening sky, a soft gradient sliding from aqua down to peach — the light Austin puts on when it wants you to stay another hour. Above the main neon hangs a smaller, rustier sign that says HAMBURGERS, because Shady Grove never saw any reason to be coy about the menu.
It's a sign-and-sky painting: the sky gets most of the room and earns it, while the sign keeps its feet on the ground. If you ever slowed down on Barton Springs Road hunting a parking spot and a patio table, this is that exact minute of the day — Austin art about the hour Austin does best.
Where It'll Work in Your House
A HAMBURGERS sign wants to live near food. Start in kitchen wall art territory — over the coffee station, beside the bar cart — or let it preside over the table with your dining room wall art. Those pastels also anchor nicely when you build a gallery wall of Texas signs; it sits happily next to the Continental Club. And for the friend who moved away and won't stop bringing up Barton Springs, file it under homesick Texan gifts.
Austin used to be measured in patio evenings — you arrived before sunset and left when the band did. This painting holds that measurement. Pair it with the County Line BBQ sign or the Austin Alphabet print and you've got a whole supper circuit on one wall.

Product FAQ
What was Shady Grove in Austin?
A beloved restaurant on Barton Springs Road that served burgers and patio evenings for decades before closing in 2020. The kitchen is gone, but the sign outlived it — and this painting keeps it lit.
Why is the sky pink and aqua in this painting?
That's the Austin evening doing what it does: aqua up high, peach settling in at the rooftops. The sign sits low so the sky gets most of the canvas, which is true to how those patio nights actually felt.
Who is a Shady Grove print a good gift for?
Austin expats, anyone who spent summers around Barton Springs, and the friend who still brings up a certain patio table. It's homesickness you can hang.
Where should I hang a Shady Grove sign print?
Kitchens and bar corners love a HAMBURGERS sign, and a hallway takes to it too — anywhere the house could use a little dusk. The pastels keep it easygoing in rooms that don't want loud neon.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
