Three Muses Challenge - In Your Dreams

My dreams take me to love in a different place and time.



I took a dark, yet romantic, painting by Gustav Klimt, and I replaced the male love interest with a man from a Lord Frederick Leighton painting...OK I admit it...because he makes me a bit weak in the knees! He might have to pop up in some future pieces as well. I don't remember where I got the echos background, but I really love it.
