Three Muses Challenge - Masculine

One of my favourite things to do is using cut and paste collage to alter portraits, re-costuming them and generally making a mockery out of famous paintings. To the artist my apologies.  This was originally a dark and sombre painting by El Greco.  His costume is a flight of fancy  (everything cut from background papers).  The pages, cards and checkered background are by Irene Alexeeva.  Other papers by Kay Balint.

    Beautiful & elegant in his costume & in his BG!
    I imagine El Greco loving him too! :)
    Very impressive in my eyes!
