Oh come on now! That's just not right. Who IS it?

Beth, give this site a try:

I don't know if it's of any use to you but I found it tonight while trying to look up something else.

The subject, the painting and you will all gain in status if the painting is done no less than life size. Make a big statement!

Since this is an important commission, if I were you I would, do it at a size you are the most comfortable with. Don't go changing your batting stance when you go to the world series. The time for experimentation is NOT when you take center stage.
Also if you have to blow up a small photo too much you'll find a lack of clarity to work from. In any case I would suggest you photograph someone with similar looks to get better quality details. Take closeups.
Also, do a small study to work out color, composition, edges and values. This is the dress rehearsal for your big performance. Great artists have everything worked out before they start.
