Sharon,
good or bad photos are still photos and turning them into paintings, that look like photos, don't add anything.
Most of us knows that the force of a good painting is the footsteps of the dancing brush.
No photograph can ever mimic that or provide you with that sort of energy. A good painting is the result of a selection process, the artists will. Photos can be used for reference, but very, very rarely be used as is, in my opinion.
How can people, who don't know the slightest about painting, produce a usefully reference that can stand on its own ?
