Jimmy Lee Sudduth At 97 years old, Jimmy Lee Sudduth passed away September of 2007. From western Alabama, he created a legacy within the folk art world that will live on forever. He worked a variety of jobs, including farming, highway construction and gardening. He painted for many years, and, like many self-taught artists who cannot necessarily afford “real” artists' materials, he always creatively used common materials such as plywood in lieu of canvas; sticks and fingers in lieu of brushes; and mud and house paint in lieu of oil paints. In fact, Mr. Sudduth asserted at one time that he had seven different colors of mud in his back yard. He added more color in recent years, often mixing house paint with the mud from his backyard. The mud gives his work rich textures and, depending on where he dug his “paint”, a shimmering otherworldliness thanks to the mica chips inherent in his material. His subjects include people, houses, animals and flowers.
