Texas Flag Wall Art by Betsy Crum
The city prints in this series are our riff. This one is not — it is the line itself, verbatim. Texas is the only place where the drive from El Paso to Beaumont eats more of your week than most people's vacations, where a gas station outside Lockhart hands you brisket that beats a steakhouse three states over, and where a blue norther drops forty degrees between lunch and the drive home. So the blue here has dust in it, the red has faded the way a flag fades on a fence post west of Abilene, and the star is not shiny. None of it is. On purpose.
It holds a wall alone over a console or a bar cart, and it anchors a group better. Hang it with the city prints in the Texas wall art collection, or send it to somebody who moved off — that is what the Homesick Texan prints are for.

Product FAQ
Whose sentence is on this print, exactly?
John Steinbeck's. Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession, from Travels with Charley: In Search of America, 1962. This one is the line verbatim. The city prints in the series are Crum Art's own riff on it, not his words.
Can it carry a wall on its own?
It holds one over a console or a bar cart, and it anchors a group better than it sits alone. The blue has dust in it and the star is not shiny, on purpose.
Is it a welcome gift or a homesick gift?
Both land. It goes out as a housewarming for someone who just moved to Texas and as a care package for someone who left.
How does it sit next to the city prints?
It is the parent of the series. Hang it in the middle and let the town prints arrange themselves around it.
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.
