Redoing a painting without the dog
I am more than halfway through a painting of a boy and his dog and it's going very well. I got a call from the client today who told me they no longer want the dog in the painting. Apparently he recently attacked someone and they will have to get rid of him.
The dog is an integral part of the current composition and the painting would not make any sense without him there. It's a sheepdog who is bigger than the kid. I would need to begin on a new canvas with new reference. (Perhaps some of the existing ref shots of the boy alone would work but we may need to shoot all new photos.)
I am much farther along with this painting than the client expected. They weren't aware that I had even begun the portrait since they had been a ways out, in my backlog.
How would you suggest I proceed with what will surely be a new painting, especially regarding my fee?
