Texas Music Art Honoring Townes Van Zandt
Townes Van Zandt wrote the songs other legends covered, and this print by Betsy Crum honors him the way his fans do: quietly, and completely. His words — spoken in an interview, not pulled from a song — are hand-lettered inside the shape of Texas — soulful music wall art and understated quote art, at home among the fearless voices of Texas wall art.
There's a family claim to this one. After Townes played Granbury one night, Betsy's husband got to spend the evening with him — a perk of having a beautiful sister who was also a fan — and the two of them stayed up talking until the early morning hours. Townes was a bit drunk by the end of it, which anyone who loved him will tell you was Townes being Townes. What a memory.
Where It'll Work in Your House
A music room, a listening corner, or an office wall near the record shelf — anywhere the deep cuts get played. It holds a spot in man cave territory and slips into a gallery wall of Texas songwriters beside Willie and Janis without raising its voice.
Serious music fans, songwriters, and collectors of Texas music history claim this one — a knowing gift for the deep-cuts listener. More in Texas gifts and homesick Texan gifts.
Townes wrote it sad and true; we kept it Texas-shaped.

A music room, a listening corner, or office wall art near the record shelf — anywhere the deep cuts get played. It slips into a gallery wall of Texas songwriters easily.
Who's the right listener to gift it to?
Serious music fans, songwriters, and collectors of Texas music history — a knowing gift for the deep-cuts listener. If you know, you know.
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.
