Thank you Molly for the information and for making me feel like less of an idiot. It is really interesting to me how the Pentax will shoot without a flash in medium to low light with good results but the Nikon in manual will refuse. I have been taking one photo after another this morning in different modes with the flash down, but every photo of the painting of Hannah is still too warm.

I appreciate the offer to email you and may take you up on it. Can I bake you a favorite cookie to send to you for this kind offer?

That is interesting that your Nikon did the same thing. Maybe it is a Nikon "thing". It's frustrating for me because I use a lot of cool tones so my photos don't read as close to the painting as I would like. As far as the reference photos, your right, that could be a nasty problem. Guess that's why it is so important to work from life so you know to adjust when the photos are not reading correctly.

Thank you for the advice and comments.
