Janet, the source photo you are working from looks to be from a professional photographer's studio and if so, the copyright for this image is owned by that photographer. You can't legally paint from it and sell or publicly exhibit the resulting portrait, if that's the case.
Since we're artists and not just expensive photo copiers we all need to get good at taking our own reference photos. It's a huge part of what it takes to be a professional portrait artist. Besides, the planning of the pose, clothing, lighting, setting, etc. is the most creative part of the process.
