"When I die, the brush dies": Remembering Jimmie Lee Sudduth
Posted: Sep 12, 2007
Jimmie Lee Sudduth, celebrated Alabama folk artist, died Sunday, September 9, in Fayette, Alabama, at the age of 97. Until recent years, Sudduth painted using his finger rather than a brush. His medium was Alabama mud mixed with other household ingredients such as coffee grinds, berries, and sugar to provide color and texture.
Sudduth, who was born in 1910, began painting at the age of four. He was the self-proclaimed "most famous artist in the world" and some of his best known images are of his dog(s), all named Toto.
Jimmie Lee Sudduth was part of a long line of self-taught southern folk artists, among whom is Mose Tolliver, also known as Mose T. Mose T died last October at the age of 82.

Very good!' said Frodo. 'But in that louis vuitton outletcase there are a lot of things to do before we go to bed ?under a roof, for tonight at any rate.' 'Oh! That was poetry!' said Pippin. 'Do you really mean to start before the break ugg boots outletof day?' 'I don't know,' answered Frodo. 'I fear those Black Riders, and I am sure it is unsafe to stay in one place long, especially in a place to which it is known I was going. Also Gildor ugg boots clearanceadvised me not to wait. But I should very much like to see Gandalf. I could see that even Gildor was disturbed when he heard that Gandalf had never appeared. It really depends on two things. How soon could the Riders get to Bucklebury? And how soon could we get off? It will take a good deal of preparation.' 'The answer to the second question,' said Merry, 'is that we could get off in an ugg boots clearancehour. I have prepared practically everything. There are six ponies in a stable across the fields; stores and tackle are all packed, except for a few extra clothes, and the perishable food.' 'It seems to have been a very ugg boots clearanceefficient conspiracy,' said Frodo. 'But what about the Black Riders? Would it be safe to wait one day for Gandalf?'
