Right, which is why I suggested to Del that he should either blur or smudge the "grass" layers in the image in post #30. Del did do that a bit(in 30 vs previous versions), but I think it still needs a tiny bit more. When I had downloaded the image(pre #30), I had used smudge with a splatter type brush with a med-medhigh(60???) rate in GIMP, using random mostly circular strokes and the results were pretty good. It maintains color variation of the photo realistic grass texture, but breaks it down to get rid of the actual photo realistic grass vs the hand drawn building style.
