HOWDY in tall western letters, deep purple on lavender, with stars cut clean through every stroke. Bands of dots and spindles run across the top and the bottom like the trim on a carnival marquee. Fort Worth's color, and pure Texas hospitality by the front door.

Product FAQ
Why is this howdy purple?
Because it was painted in Fort Worth, and purple is the color this town runs on come Saturday. Betsy Crum has lettered the same hand-painted HOWDY in other colors, but the deep purple on pale lavender is the hometown version — made for the Fort Worth crowd, not the merchandise aisle. It's a greeting that picked a side.
Does this print work better in a dorm room or a house?
Both, honestly. In a dorm it carries the room by itself, and in a house it likes the spots where a greeting belongs: the entryway, the den, or the wall where everyone lands on game day. It holds up wherever the purple people gather.
Who is the Fort Worth purple howdy a good gift for?
TCU grads, freshmen headed to their first dorm, Fort Worth transplants who miss Cowtown, and anyone whose closet is at least half purple. It covers graduation, move-in day, and the December gift for the person who claims they already have everything — they don't have a purple howdy.
How do you build a Cowtown wall around the purple howdy?
Round out the greeting with the rest of the howdy set — the Game Day Howdy in burnt orange, the Front Porch Howdy, and the minimalist Black and White Howdy. For a fuller Cowtown wall, add the Fort Worth Bingo Card Purple or Caya Crum's Trinity River TCU print from the Fort Worth Art collection.
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 art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our 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.
