THAT'S MY DOG!
Artist: Jimmy Lee Sudduth
Alabama, USA b. 1910 - d. 2007
He was also a musician and was well-known.
My spouse loves unusual dog paintings and mongrel dogs. This is his favorite and he insisted I go into Paris today in the cold and rain to pay nine euros to see this (it was with hundreds of other "art brut" works and is wonderful). Maison Rouge museum on the Arsénale basin, not far from Bastille.
He calls this one, "Bat Dog!!"
