If you're an artist, I'm guessing you might go through what I sometimes do with paintings.
I have an idea, references, model, or wonderful landscape before me, and excitement for the painting. As I begin the piece, I think, "This is going to be the best painting I've ever done". After a little while working on it my thoughts shift to, "This is the worst painting I've ever done!"
As I continue painting on it, I think I may be able to get it to work. A little later I start to realize it's not half-bad.

Beautiful figurative work, Diana!!
Thank you, David. I enjoyed working on this one, although it was not one of those that practically painted itself.
Beautiful Diana! I also have paintings that go through that "I give up" stage.
I'm glad I'm not alone, Sherry. I'm actually happy with this piece but it went through several stages before I felt pleased. This has been happening a lot lately!
