Hi Jean,
You have the time, I would really go after more photos of the little redheaded guy. Market -wise, he will have universal appeal, and I love the vantage point, the lighting and the expression.
The problems with this photo reference are the hat/hair, and the lens distortion. Do you see how enormous his hands are compared to his face? To fix this you have to get way back and zoom in or use a higher mm lens. However, the lens distortion will become a non-issue if you just do a head shoulder, vignette. Personally I wouldn't probably try to invent the light on his gorgeous hair, but if you go ahead with this resource, I think you should try it out first, before the show.
Regarding #2, the pose doesn't feel very dynamic, and the figure, as well as #4, would require ( at least for me) much too much time for a demonstration, as I would see that they'd have to be on fairly large canvases in order to be anything resembling "portrait".
And wow, the yards and houses in the redhead's background look so Wisconsin!
