Winter Road - Final

I have a friend who doesn't believe me when I say my work doesn't always turn out "perfect", and this one is definitely an example of that.
I did manage to get most of the "wow" out of the fabric but in doing so I managed to "melt" the road.
The organza overlay couldn't stand  up to heavy steaming. But then this piece really hasn't done what I expected at all.

I finished it.
I persevered and looking at it now, with is mismatched thread design, painting and tattered road, I still like it. There is something so familiar about the chewed roads, particularly in winter and here in Canada.
Does it portray the mysterious serenity of the original???? No.
But I'll put it out there and see what happens.
