JY Crum — a Heritage Cowboy Portrait by Caya Crum
Most of the cowboys in this shop are types rather than people, men Caya invented and named after what they act like. JY was real. He was a Pecos-born, TCU-proud Texas rancher, and he was her great-grandfather, painted here by his great-granddaughter four generations on. That is the whole difference, and you can feel it in the face.
Where It'll Work in Your House
It does the job a family portrait has always done, which puts it in the rooms family portraits go: dining room wall art above a sideboard, or entryway art where guests meet him first. The colourful palette is what keeps it from reading stiff, so it sits in a modern room without turning it into a museum. He also anchors a gallery wall of family pieces without overpowering them.
Caya Crum painted him, working in Texas. Original family artwork, printed to order — more of Caya's work here.

Product FAQ
Who is JY Crum?
Caya Crum's great-grandfather, a Pecos-born and TCU-proud Texas rancher. This is a heritage cowboy portrait of a real man, painted by his great-granddaughter four generations on.
How is the JY Crum portrait different from the other cowboy prints?
Most of the cowboys in this catalog are types rather than people, men Caya invented and named after what they act like. JY was real, he was family, and the portrait carries that.
Where does the JY Crum portrait hang best?
It works as dining room wall art and as entryway art, which are the rooms a family portrait has traditionally gone. The colorful palette keeps it from reading as stiff or formal the way an heirloom photograph would.
Who is the JY Crum portrait a good gift for?
Texans, ranch families, TCU alumni, and anyone who keeps the family history. It lands hardest with people who have a rancher of their own somewhere back down the line.
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.
