Overview

"This book is to honor my father, Curtis Bertrand (1920-2000), and his oil paintings. The photo of my father on the front cover was taken at the height of his artistic life. He created beautiful masterpieces during this time, around 1986, when he was age 66. What's amazing is he didn't start taking art classes until 1982, after he retired. He painted for the fun of it, not to make money, but to see the expression on the faces of his family when he gave us a painting. When he handed me the painting named Cypress Solitude, I was in awe. My jaw dropped! It was the most beautiful sight! He said, ""I painted this for you to hang in your home."" What love he had for us!"

This book tells the story of a man with a great deal of talent. Every one of these paintings tells a story. It is the talent of the artist that makes each painting come alive. Even a flower comes alive with its perfect petals. And his ability to give you the feeling of silence, quiet, happiness...no sadness. These kinds of pictures should never be lost. They should always be here. Constance Monies Gremillion, author, Master Gardener, art enthusiast Lafayette, Louisiana Curtis Bertrand mastered the art form of creating perfect clouds in his oil paintings. This enhances the central theme of the art he wanted to portray. I call him The Cloud Master. My regret is that I never met him in person, only through his art. J.B. Gardemal, artist of realism, still life, and abstract Parks, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana
