Jimmy Lee Sudduth At 94 years old, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, from western Alabama, is a living legend. He has worked a variety of jobs, including farming, highway construction and gardening. He has painted for many years, and, like may self-taught artists who cannot necessarily afford “real” artists materials, he has 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 has 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.
