I would never sell a photo I used for reference. I want my paintings to stand on their own. My clients appreciate this and seem fine with my explanation. I change many things in the course of doing a painting. In addition I don't want a phone call in six months requesting an alteration to the portrait because Cousin Edna questioned the length of the nose.
