Barbara,
Yes, I am suggesting a milky scumble-glaze (velatura) as a simple technique to take the most strident qualities out of your intense brown, without otherwise changing the brushwork or structure of your painting. If you are subtle enough you will hardly see any change at all. Your painting will look essentially the same, except that the background will feel subliminally more atmospheric. Test the velatura on another surface first to see if it has the effect you want.
