I think you start disadvantaged. If it is possible I would reshoot, postponing the work, so you will be able to work from the best possible photo, it's already difficult enough. The father will be impressed if you show him that it IS important, it IS complicated and you don't want to work from a photo that needs patching up

I showed the father the portrait today (he has been out of town for a while) and he loved it. Next year he wants a painting of himself and his three sons (of course I won't count my chickens). It was more difficult, I admit - I used another photo similar to these, and combined it with some other faces I had of his - patched together is the word - but it turned out OK - I am still screwing around with it a little - but will post it on my website in a few weeks.
Thanks for help everyone!!
