They say that everything's bigger in Texas. Until you visit Texas and see for yourself, you may disagree. However, one thing is certain: Texas artwork, at least, is big. Here are some of the most popular types of art covering full walls in the heart of this state. 

Southwestern-Themed Murals

Cowboys, the Wild West, ranch scenes, saloons: you name it, people want it on their walls as one giant mural. Mural artists are in hot pursuit of work, and the consumers are in hot pursuit of the mural artists. This is bigger-than-life-sized art that covers an entire wall in your home, and if you get tired of it or bored with it, you can paint over it. However, most people tend to love the results, and they will leave it up on their walls for decades. 

Pop-up Wall Art in Metal

Imagine a craftily cut set of cacti, tumbleweeds, and other objects made from metal. You can choose the finish, but these pieces can be as large or as small as you want them. They stand away from the wall on a set of metal mounts, creating an almost three-dimensional effect. Additional pieces add depth to the scene, making it appear as though the smaller items are at a distance and the closer ones are right next to you. It is an excellent way to fill a lot of empty wall space and create conversation pieces at the same time. 

Digital Photo Screens the Size of Flat Screen TVs

This is a fun new addition to any Texas home. Take lots of pictures of things you see in nature or of special events in your family. Load them to these massive digital photo screens and let them randomly play. Every couple of minutes, the picture changes. You never get the same scene on the wall for more than a few minutes, which means that you will never get bored with the photographic art displayed. 

Canvas Art from Galleries

Huge art galleries in Texas display some pretty fantastic local talent too. If your goal is to get Texas art from a Texas artist, then the galleries are the places to go find it. If you like a particular artist's work, you might even be able to commission a one-of-a-kind piece from that artist to hang in your home. Just be aware that the bigger the piece, the more support it is going to need from your wall.
