Marvin,
Thank you for the information about two light sources. I am not familiar with photography and assumed the photo was washed out because it's around 30 years old.
Chris,
Thank you for your input. I have read your book and have found it very helpful. (For those of you who haven't read her book, do yourself a favor and buy it). I have done some thumbnail sketches today and made a few decisions concerning tonal values and light temperature. I agree with warm light and cool shadows. I like your suggestion about the edges. I think a good focal point would be the girl's right eye. I'm planning to start the underpaint this week, so any and all suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks again,
Renee
