Speaker 1
Have you fed your lizard yet? 
Speaker 2
Nah, he doesn't eat very often. How about your pets?
Speaker 1
Yep. I feed them daily.
Speaker 2
Do you like your dog or rodents better, if you had to choose?
Speaker 1
That's a difficult choice to make. I guess I'd have to go for the dog, since they're probably more sentient than rodents are.
Speaker 2
What kind of dog is he or she?
Speaker 1
I've got a male German Shepard and a female Goldendoodle.
Speaker 2
Oh man I'm obsessed with German Shepards. What are their names?
Speaker 1
The German Shepard is named Peanut. The Goldendoodle is named Butter.
Speaker 2
Oh man that's perfect. My lizards name is Franklin.
Speaker 1
Oh, I like that! It's cool to see pets with human names!
Speaker 2
Do you plan do get any more animals?

Speaker 1
I'll have to show you this painting I made of my two dogs. 
Speaker 2
How long have you been painting for?
Speaker 1
I've been painting for ten years actually. I started when I was 13.
Speaker 2
Cool, I really like dogs too. German shepherds are really loyal dogs.
Speaker 1
Do you own any German Shepards?
Speaker 2
I do not, but I would love to some day. Do you have any regrets in having one?
Speaker 1
My only regret is the shedding. I have to clean every single day to keep the house from being covered. Any downsides to owning a lizard?
Speaker 2
No, not really. You do have to clean the tank every once and a while, and they aren't exactly cuddly, but I have always thought that they were cool animals.
Speaker 1
They seem cool. If you wanted me to, I could easily paint a portrait of it.
Speaker 2
I would love that, I will have to send you a pic of him so you have something to work with.
Speaker 1
I promise to do the portrait if you promise to teach me how to skydive in the future.
Speaker 2
Sure, we can arrange that. I highly recommend you watch some instructional videos on the internet, you would think that jumping out of a plane is simple, but there is a lot to learn!

My German Shepard's name is Peanut and my Goldendoodle's name is butter. I cut coupons. I began painting at 13. I am 23. I have painted for a decade. My dog sheds a lot. I clean my house every day. I would like to skydive one day.
Speaker 2
I live in arizona. I like to skydive. I have skydived before. I work for the government. I own a lizard named Franklin. I would like a German Shepard as a pet one day. I like lizards. I would like someone to paint a picture of my lizard.
Speaker 1
I finished up painting Franklin today!
Speaker 2
Whoa that was fast! I can't wait to see it!
Speaker 1
Yes, I tend to go quickly when I'm excited about a painting.  If you don't like it I can do it again.  I don't mind and want to have a fair trade if you're going to teach me to skydive.  I'll send you a picture of the painting and you can tell me what you think.
Speaker 2
I'm sure I am going to love it! Your work is stunning even on bad day!
Speaker 1
Thank you!  You're too flattering.  I do love to paint though, so if you want me to paint anything else for me I'd be willing to do that.  I've given people personal portraits as gifts and they seemed to like them.  Or a painting of a couple can make a good wedding gift.
Speaker 2
I'll definitely commission more paintings from you. Do you keep a portfolio of all the work that you do?
Speaker 1
I started taking pictures of my paintings when I was 18.  I didn't think about it before that and gave a lot away, or they got lost, and then I regretted not having a record of them.  So yes, now I have records of all my paintings.  It's interesting to be able to see the progress and changes that take place over years that are hard to see from one painting to the next when you're doing it regularly.
Speaker 2
Wow, I didn't realize you had been painting for so long. What got you started?
Speaker 1
My mother really liked art so I was exposed to a lot of it at an early age.  But mostly it's just something that came naturally to me.  I loved art class in grade school; it was always my favorite subject, regardless of what we were making.
Speaker 2
That's so wonderful that you were in an environment that helped you grow your natural talents. Would you mind if I looked through your portfolio when I pick Franklin's painting? I would love to see how you've progressed over time.
Speaker 1
Sure, I'd be happy to show you.  You might also see a style of painting you prefer and I can redo the painting of Franklin using that style.
Speaker 2
Haha, I am not going to ask you to redo the painting. If anything, I'll just ask for another one!

Speaker 1
Are there any other commissions you are thinking about getting done?
Speaker 2
I can't think of anything for myself, but it might be nice to get something for my mom. She loves birds.
Speaker 1
That's a great idea! A great birthday gift for her.
Speaker 2
She'd probably like it, although she's also picky. Are you good at painting birds?
Speaker 1
I like to think so, I do a lot of them. People always ask for them.
Speaker 2
What's your favorite kind to paint? I like colorful ones, but not the tropical kinds.
Speaker 1
Cardinals are my favorite. I love putting in detail, and the red really makes them pop against the background.
Speaker 2
Sounds beautiful! Do you also paint your dogs?
Speaker 1
Sometimes, but I don't do portraits it's more of them as shadows in landscapes, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2
Ah, I get it. Do you ever do really large paintings? Like murals?
Speaker 1
A local business asked me to paint the side of their building. I was nervous but I think it came out great and most people really enjoy it. It was so much work, I asked some friends to help me.
Speaker 2
Very cool. What did they ask you to paint? I bet it is hard to plan a whole wall like that.
