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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
