Didn’t learn to read or write but made the best of the situation painting with mud on stumps in the woods as a child. His mother encouraged and the work began. His paintings are in major privately held collections of folk art, outsider art and self taught art.

Been collecting Sudduth for close to 40 years and have never had a Tryptic from Jimmy Lee Sudduth.. Pretty cool a happy family.

Note: If you are in Nashville visit James Beard Foundation Award winner Sean Brock’s Audrey restaurant for a nice collection of Jimmy Lee Sudduth paintings.

Note: Slight difference in dimensions of 3 paintings. Noted dimensions in listing are an average and all three are pretty close to published dimensions. less
