I should add that because the pattern adjustment layer will need to be viewed through a changed Blend Mode (like Multiply or Soft Light) for the texture to visually inhabit the image, you can only erase it when it is being used at a very low opacity (so that the texture is not too dominant). Otherwise there will be a tonal difference between the textured and non textured areas. If you want to remove selectively dominant texture, you will need to rasterize the pattern adjustment layer (say using the Unsharp Mask at low effect), sample the BW tone with the eye dropper, and then use a brush - like the one you used to make the painting - to paint on grey paint at varying opacities to the pattern adjustment layer to block texture from showing. I sounds more complicated than it is.
