That's funny, Michele! You're right, though; who knows what people are thinking when they choose a reference photo. The only other painting that I kept was done for a relative who let the parents choose the reference photo and then obviously didn't like the way it showed the girl.

I didn't ask for a deposit; I think I'll finally have to break down and change that policy. I preferred not to have the pressure of having taken clients' money before I knew they were satisfied. I imagine that requesting a quarter to a third of the price would be fair in this case. She has to deal with me in the future, socially and in the community, as well!

I'll post the painting in the critiques section with the reference photo I'm using and see what reactions I get. Thanks!

Leslie
