Gosh, you should post your 'failures' more often, ! Even the 'failures' are so beautiful !
Even though they might not hit what you wanted to achieve, I think it's wonderful to see how you are inching closer to where you want to get by degrees :)
Gorgeous result with the 'final' piece too... Lovely gradation and lighting and I love your expressive and free strokes <3
