Dollar General Kennard Texas Wall Art by Betsy Crum

The Marfa version of this painting became a cult favorite, mostly because people liked seeing an ordinary storefront handled with the same seriousness as a landscape. Kennard is the harder one. Marfa arrives with a reputation already attached. Kennard is a Piney Woods town in deep East Texas, near the Davy Crockett National Forest, and the store there is a landmark in the plainest sense of the word. Betsy paints it deadpan and lets that sit.

It works as texas wall art for anyone with East Texas in their history, and as americana wall art for people who collect the ordinary roadside on purpose. A kitchen, an entryway, or a hallway where somebody will stop and say they know that store. It rounds out a small-town-Texas trio with Farrah Fawcett and Round Top Hollywood Sign. Shop all three together in The Small Town Texas Set. More in Texas Wall Art.

Product FAQ

Where is Kennard?

Houston County, deep in East Texas, near the Davy Crockett National Forest. Piney Woods country.

How does it relate to the Dollar General Marfa print?

Same idea, different town. Marfa is the West Texas one and the better known of the two; Kennard is the East Texas counterpart. They hang well as a pair.

Why paint a Dollar General?

Every town has a landmark you give directions by, and in Kennard it is this store. Painting an ordinary storefront with the seriousness of a landscape is the whole point.

Who made it?

Betsy Crum, working in Texas. Original family artwork, printed to order.

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.
