21st June is our county's celebration of all that's great about the place - and it's not just the amazing number of independent real ale breweries that we've got here ;-)

John Constable was a Suffolk painter, NoM, but many of his most famous works (such as The Haywain and Willy Lott's Cottage) featured places that were only just inside the county border with Essex. He never painted any work simply called 'Suffolk'.
Perhaps you're confusing him with the county's other great artist, Thomas Gainsborough, who painted 'County of Suffolk'?

These days though the most famous person in the county is probably Ed Sheeran. Our local newspaper is obsessed with printing stories about him. On Monday, for example, they ran a big story about him donating stuff to a local charity shop

and, when they'd reached yesterday without finding anything else to write about him, they made 'news' out of a 3-year-old kid dressing up as him!

J M W Turner is among my favourite artists. To be honest, much of Gainsborough's work leaves me cold and I'm not all that keen on some of Constable's stuff either.
Alfred Munnings also lived and worked in Suffolk. Although I don't really see much in his simple horse portraits, some of his other works are superb:

Adnam's beers are certainly good, Rowanwitch, but we've got loads of little breweries producing stuff that's even better.
Southwold (the home of Adnam's) is a fantastic town though. Walberswick, on the other side of the river from Southwold, is really pleasant too. The only way to cross the river (without a long walk inland to reach the old railway bridge or an 8½ mile road journey) is to take the ferry. If the ferryman is on the opposite side of the river when you need him, you shout "Ferryman!" and wait as he rows about a quarter of a mile upstream, against the racing tide, so that he can then let his boat drift back down to you. To get you to the other side of the river he then has to row about a quarter of a mile upstream again, so that you'll eventually be taken by the current to where you actually want to be. The cost for this fantastic service, requiring loads of physical effort, is just £1 per passenger!

>>> The problem I have with Suffolk is that I am slightly dyslexic so it looks like an expletive
That reminds me of how we Suffolk folk describe those strange people across the county border. Although we find them very odd, we invariably admit that they're good. Indeed, we always say that "they're all Norfolk'n'good" ;-)
