But they were both trying to get it right. It was important to them.
Very true. Monet also did series of studies--haystacks, waterlilies, church fronts--but of course what he was going after was more the play of light than the things he was painting. Constable was trying, I think, for the sense of reality (and clouds in paintings are so often too solid or not solid enough), and van Gogh more the feeling of a haystack, almost a tactile sense.
Is it the intensity of the effort or the accuracy of the results that appeals to you, Mycroft, do you know?

Music is a form of art though isn't it and you do that quite well so I've heard :-)
I better not ask any more questions now because I'll be in trouble for the over 200 comments ;-)
Hope you're having a good a holiday and enjoying your time at home
