Denton Texas Flag Art by Betsy Crum
The print is a weathered Texas silhouette carrying the flag — dusty blue field, cream and faded brick-red bars, a five-point star gone soft at the points — on a chalky, scraped-plaster cream ground, with heavy black wood-type capitals stamped over it. It suits a town that has never been polished and would be worse off if it were. Denton is the courthouse sitting square in the middle of everything with the traffic going around it like water around a rock. It is a horn section running the same eight bars somewhere off Fry Street at eleven at night. It is the line out the door at Beth Marie's in August, because ice cream is the only reasonable answer to that kind of heat. Interstate 35 comes up from the south, splits in two here, and leaves for two different cities — which is about right for a place that has always been its own thing in between them.
It hangs well in an entry or over a desk, and better in a group — there is more of the state in Texas wall art, and it sits comfortably beside the rest of the Texas typography and quote prints.

Product FAQ
What is the type sitting on?
A chalky, scraped-plaster cream ground with a weathered Texas silhouette carrying the flag under it, then heavy black wood-type capitals stamped on top. Nothing about it is polished, which suits the town.
Entry wall or over a desk?
Either. It hangs well in both and better in a group, since the black-and-cream palette gangs up nicely with other typography prints.
Who is actually buying this one?
People who left Denton and people who just bought a house there. Very little in between.
Does it need company on the wall?
It is happier with it. The other town prints in the series make the easiest neighbors.
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.
