Choosing the main subject

For a few days I have been in doubt over the main subject of the painting.


However during reading some magazines I noticed a advertisal for some summer clothing. The photo showed a running lady in a width cotton summer dress. I really loved the picture and decided to use this as the pose that I would like to have my subject.


Choosing this picture immediate raise some questions:
? Who has the intellectual property of this picture? The magazine redaction is not willing to give any information also the firm delivering this clothing is dazzled with this kind of questions. So having permission is difficult/
? The quality of the picture is poor (at his best...). The magazine is not the highest quality print. Details are hard to see.
? Shall I use the concept of the lovely summerly Greece blue colors?

I will start with doing some Photoshop work to see if my concept will materialize by seeing it on the screen. I am not afraid to admit that I use PS to help me sometimes. I know for sure that even Rembrandt and Leonardo used all help that they could get (and they were much more talented drawers then I am......)
