At that point is there really a point to paint the damn thing.
98% of the viewers of the piece will see it digitally, through a screen anyway, so it loses the possible liveliness of color that a traditional painting can be capable of, as opposed to a screen (think looking at a master painting in real life versus an image), but the entire painting was already referenced from a photograph, so information on color has already been lost but also form.
And when it comes to the design aspect, all the work's already been done, and it'll look no different as an oil painting or the photograph on a 586x880 pixel image.
I suspect that for most viewers of her painting that the awe factor comes from not being able to believe that its a painting, but hey it brings in the dough.
But on the upside her tendencies are slightly shifting in her newer work.
