Jimmy Lee Sudduth died last week.
He lived in Alabama for 97 years.
He was a painter.
He played the harmonica.
Was a husband, father, friend.
Loved his dogs - he had many dogs over the years - all named Toto.
People who create art are invariably categorized into a genre, and Sudduth's, for all intent and purposes - was Folk Art.
His medium: homemade paints: mixtures of mud, axle grease, soot, sugar, coffee grounds, molasses, honey, Coca-Cola, sorghum, plants, berries...
In his later years, Sudduth favored acrylic paint.
Choice of application: his fingers.
Jimmy (aka Jimmie) Sudduth has been cranking out paintings (sometimes 6 a day!) for decades, and I was not aware of this artist/ his work today.
Thank goodness for the obits.

Great! Thanks for putting this pic here. Can you please upload some more pic or can you please tell me where should i get more work of this artist?
I came across Sudduth's work on the internet. You can 'Google' his name and find more there. If the link I've provided is still viable, that would be a good place to start.
