Cactus Art and Texas Nostalgia by Betsy Crum
Betsy Crum's Dairy Queen cactus painting is Texas small-town memory made tangible — the kind of image that hits people at shows and makes them go quiet for a second before they say where they grew up. Cactus wall art with a cow skull doing honest cow skull decor duty, Texas history, and a feeling you thought you'd forgotten — and a natural gift for Texans who grew up in small towns, or wish they had.
Every Texas town has a DQ story. Swap yours over more cactus art, Texas wall art, and the rest of our western art.

Product FAQ
What is in the scene?
A yellow flashing DQ sign, a barbed wire fence, the dust, a cow skull, and a prickly pear doing what prickly pear does. That is the childhood, more or less.
Where does this one hang?
A den, a kitchen, or an entry. It carries more story than the other cactus prints, so it wants a wall people stop at rather than pass.
Who does this get given to?
Texans who grew up in small towns, or wish they had. It stops people at shows and they go quiet for a second before they tell you where they are from.
What is missing from the picture, according to Betsy?
A rooster. She says all the artwork needs is a rooster and it would be complete. She has not painted one in yet.
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.
