Isn't it great to find that the passing of time provides better insight to just what needs to be done?!? So....what did I do? Be sure to read the link above which continues now with the addition of herringbone dyed wool leaves over the paint stamped originals. Machine stitching with wool thread provided the detail they needed and quite of bit of hand embroidery punctuated the look of the sunset. (click photo for a larger image)

Love this!
Looking at your work makes me want to start working in wool. Maybe that's why I've bought some recently.
So glad you persevered...it really turned out wonderful....still love the herringbone leaves!
Thank you for boldly sharing your disappointment in your piece when nothing seemed to help. Having reached this place with in a current WIP, it is reassuring that you eventually found a solution. What a solution it is!
How stunning to look at this art work! The colors pair beautifully.
yum, the texture is palpable thru the screen. I like the layering too.
