Linda, I did the two-copies procedure, also, but then I found myself resenting clients who wanted to use them as Christmas cards or enlarge them and give them for gifts or whatever. I felt that they should have recognized that my photos were copyrighted just as my paintings were, and that they were made only as a reference tool for the portrait.

If the client is a friend I'll usually make extras, but when it's purely a business contact I've stopped doing that. I'm not concerned about negative comparisons because the painting usually takes elements from several different photos and doesn't replicate any one, but I do want to be viewed as a painter, not a photographer, so making only one set of prints works better for me.
