Description

Jimmy Lee Sudduth has done literally hundreds of portraits, with numerous of the artist himself among them. These straightforward, frontal and often full-length portraits in mud and sugar water picture the artist motionless, sometimes holding one or more musical instruments, and occasionally with his dog, Toto. That's Me, Jimmy Lee shows the artist with his guitar and harmonica, sitting and performing.
