I recommend my pal
Half Nelson who also looks good in jeans. Not to imply your son is reluctant to model, but he may be useful for other things (taking money from art buyers while you work.... ).
You're smart to paint from life in public (even if you use Half Nelson - he counts as "life" for these purposes) because then you'll not be dismissed as "just copying the photo".
I think you will be terrific at this and I hope this fair goes really well for you, Jean! Best of luck to you!
