he is inspired by European masters ushc as Renior and
Goya and makes his work imaginative and takes a
deeper look at the human form, only with this show, makes
them free from the constraints of gravity. With an ethereal
quality, these forms are in a state of perpetual flight,
floating outward almost to catch themselves—yet not angels.

Jennifer Tonkovich.Also within the letters are
also the pigments he planned on using on the paintings.
Sadly, he ended his life only two years later in July
1890 after shooting himself in the chest. Did you know
that he only sold one painting in his lifetime? This

Restaurant du Jour
Cielito Lindo Dos Mexican Restaurant &
Cantina
You know
those treasures as far as eating and drinking establishments
that some locals only want to keep secret and not share?
Well, I’m about the blow the whistle on this place…Cielito
Lindo Dos in Lighthouse Point is one of the most
amazing Mexican restaurants in Southern Florida. Owned
and personally operated by the Breitman family, CLD is
truly a Family Restaurant.
Cielito
Lindo Dos is great on the Price-to-Quanity Ratio with
heaping portions that will make you scream Doggy Bag
Please! What I did not realize and was spoiled after
having it there years ago, there is a special sauce only
offered by the Argentinians—Chimichurri Sauce. This is
nectar of gods as far as I am concerned and consists of:
oil, basil, garlic, and pine nuts (I think) and is pureed
into a sauce and I actually dream of it. With the
meal that I ordered, I received: a skirt steak exactly how
I wanted it, rice that did not taste like Mall Chinese Food
rice and had flavor, and a cheese enchilada—all for about
$14.
However,
another one of their specialties are their margaritas which
are out of this world and Old World tasting. I had a
margarita that was made with Gran Gala (orange liqueur) and
was delightful hours later. During their Happy Hour they
feature half-priced margaritas, well drinks, and domestic
beers and did I forget to mention that every Wednesday
Mariachis perform!
Cielito
Lindo Dos is located at 4480 N Federal Highwayin Lighthouse Point. No reservations are
required for most parties—but if going with 20 people, call
them at 954-941-8226. Oh, when I say that this is truly a
family restaurant, if a black and curly haired woman greets
and then seats you, feel free to call her Mom—I do!
