This painting was originally starged in November 2009, and has lain in my unfinished pile since. Decided it would be a good one to demonatrate the capabilities of using Embroidery Stabilizer, instead of just covering it with a heavy coat of Gesso. To see the process that started the path to the final painting see my post of October 26. (http://merleplaggeart.com/dir/?p=1000)
Initial painting done in 2009, pure acrylic. Called 'Hotseat'
Final painting after treatment with white gesso and embroidery stabilizer as well as watercolor paint and other hand drawn lines and textures.
Just below is an enlarged area of the lower right of the painting. It shows annotation of what the various visual textures are a result of. 
Thanks much for looking and checking this out. It really is a neat way for redoing an old painting that has not been one of your favorites. Any comments are gratefully appreciated.
