No matter what I did, I could not like this effort, nor did I much like Monet’s painting, either. All painters have those days – I wonder if Monet was as displeased with his version as I am?! I decided to do a detail of Monet’s composition, the part showing how small the people are in comparison to the chalk cliffs of Etretat.
One thing that I have really noticed is the vast differences found among the same images on the net – some are lighter, bluer, duller, ickier, prettier.
I think I am done with Monet for a bit . . .
There is beauty in your version. Please feel proud of your work. Take care! 🙂

Thanks, Fabio – but failure is as important as success. Still, kind words are appreciated.

Hmm can’t say I like either I’m afraid, but it’s still a good learning curve for you.

There are days, Fraggy, when nothing works. Both are disasters IMHO! But like you said, learning curves with everything!

I agree with the previous comments. I think it’s great that you write about “failures” and learning from them I like Monet’s painting and yours- in spirit and colors

Thanks, Anne. I personally was quite disgusted, and I did have a good laugh over it. It keeps you humble and learning.

I have a book of Monet’s letters and he was not proud of all of his work. In his 40s he wrote that he should give up painting because he could not produce anything worthwhile. That always gives me comfort, and let’s me look at something I did and just decide it did not work this time. If every piece we do is a masterpiece, there would be no masterpieces.
