Resale Release?




I've completed 2 portraits as samples of my work for display then I began to wonder; Do I have the right to resell the paintings I have created that the subject (or their relative) is not the buyer? I do have a model's release that states I can use the photos to paint the portrait or to use in advertising, reprint, etc., but it doesn't state I can sell the product of the photo shoot.

I would like to eventually sell the paintings and was just told by a mother (AFTER I completed the portrait) that she doesn't want anyone else to have the painting, but she can't afford to buy it. Am I stuck? I don't mind keeping it in my own collection, but what if I do eventually wish to sell it. Do I have the right to do this?

How do other artists deal with selling artwork to those who are strangers to the subjects, but wish to purchase it as a work of art?
