Cowboy Art | Jesse | Caya Crum

A patterned shirt, a pale hat, and the warmest light in the series. Jesse — the Patterned Shirt Cowboy by Caya Crum Jesse is painted against coral — not sunset, not dusk, just warm daylight — in a blue-violet shirt scattered with small red motifs, under a pale hat with a pink underbrim. He is one of the gentler faces in the Neon Cowboy series: the mustache is neat, the expression is easy, and nothing about him is trying to intimidate anybody. The coral ground is the reason he places so well. It is a warm mid-tone rather than a hard primary, so he does not fight the wall he is on, and the blue shirt reads cool against it without going cold. Western Wall Art for an Entryway or Living Room He is the easy one. Where the bolder pieces in the series need a wall of their own, Jesse will hang in a living room, an entryway, a hallway or over a sideboard and simply get on with it. He is a good first western piece for someone not yet sure they want a cowboy on the wall — and he has been photographed over a dining table more than once, which is why he sits in the dining room wall art collection too. Questions Is this a night scene? No — it is broad daylight. The warmth comes from the coral ground, not from a sunset. What is on the shirt? A small repeating figure in red on blue-violet, painted loose. It gives the shirt movement without becoming a pattern you have to read. Who is he a good gift for? Someone setting up a first house. He is among the safest picks in housewarming gifts and gifts for boyfriend. Who painted him? Caya Crum, working in Texas — see more of the series. Keep going in western art.
