Armadillo Art by Texas Watercolor Artist Caya Crum
This armadillo painting captures the nine-banded armadillo — the official small state mammal of Texas — in washes of dusty purple, olive, and warm brown. Caya Crum painted her mid-amble, ears up, armor bands catching the light. As an armadillo print, it brings a little Lone Star wildlife to a nursery, a Texas-themed gallery wall, or anywhere that needs some homegrown charm. Pair it with our Texas wall art for the full hill-country feel.
Armadillo Art Questions
What is a nine-banded armadillo?
The nine-banded armadillo is the only armadillo species found in the United States and the official small state mammal of Texas. Its armored shell has flexible bands that let it twist and curl as it forages — and it almost always gives birth to identical quadruplets.
What art pairs well with an armadillo print?
Texas wildflowers and desert plants are natural companions. Browse our cactus art prints for a desert pairing, or build out a full Lone Star wall with more Texas art.

Our fine art prints are available in multiple sizes including 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
Is this print good for a western or ranch-style living room?
Absolutely. Crum Art prints work beautifully in western living rooms, ranch house walls, and collected interiors. The editorial quality and distinct Texas point of view make them strong anchor pieces for a rustic western or Lone Star-inspired home.
How is this print made and what materials are used?
Every Crum Art print is produced on 100% cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks — the same standard used in fine art galleries. Built to last without fading, and hand-signed by the artist before it leaves our Fort Worth studio.
Can this print be part of a gallery wall?
Yes — many Crum Art prints are part of series and are designed to group together as a statement western gallery wall, or hang individually as a standalone piece. Each image is sized to fit standard frames for easy styling.
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.
