Speaker 1
What is your latest painting project?
Speaker 2
Oh, I've been working on a series of animals. I bet your kids would like them - how are they doing?
Speaker 1
They are fine thank you. Do you love animals too. I guess you do for why otherwise would you have a passion to paint animals. Any particular animal you focus on?
Speaker 2
No, I've been doing all kinds of animals, trying to perfect my style. Then I plan to start a series on fish and birds native to the hawaiian shores. And yes, I love animals. Have you caught any good films lately? I could use a recommendation.  
Speaker 1
With the kids around I hardly have time to watch movies. The only time I get is after they go to bed and I am already tired by then with my work which I have to catch up with. You said you liked music. Have you tried to make your own of late
Speaker 2
It's too bad you never have time for movies, I know how much you like cinema. I've been recording mountain and seashore sounds to use in an avant-garde music composition that I hope will one day accompany an exhibit of my animal paintings. 
Speaker 1
That sounds awesome and interesting. A painting exhibit with music of nature playing in the background. Man that sounds wonderful even to think about. You are an artist of great imagination. I wish you success in your ventures. Only do not forget to invite me to your exhibit. Even thinking about it gets me excited.
Speaker 2
If I ever get that far, you and your family will be first on the guest list. You'd enjoy coming out here to Hawaii - give you some time to relax on the beach with a pina colada. 
Speaker 1
Thanks for the invite. I sure will take it up. I am confident that you will get that far because you have the passion and the vision for it. Looking forward to hearing from you on the progress you have made towards that dream.
Speaker 2
Thanks for your confidence, it means a lot. And take some time for yourself now and then, you deserve it. You work so hard taking care of the kids. I know they appreciate it. 
Speaker 1
My kids will love to come to Hawaii and have some fun. That will be an added bonus for me when I visit your exhibit.
Speaker 2
I'm looking forward to your visit, and there's tons of kid-friendly things to do around here, though I would hope they have fun at the exhibit too.

Speaker 1
So have you always been interested in being an artist?
Speaker 2
I first learned about my interest when I was in high school.  I took a digital photography class and fell in love.  I've since gotten into lots of different types!
Speaker 1
That's so wonderful that you have a career you're passionate about! I wish I could find that, but alas, I'm stuck working retail.
Speaker 2
Ah man, retail sucks.  I worked it for a little bit before.  Do you get the chance to be artistic in retail?
Speaker 1
If you consider arranging shoe displays artistic, then sure lol. It's a pretty lame job, but it pays the bills.
Speaker 2
Ah, an artist indeed!  You should come take over my job when I leave.
Speaker 1
Haha I didn't know you were also a comedian! Are you planning on staying in Hawaii long-term?
Speaker 2
Hawaii reminds me of that one stinky pair of shoes everyone has.  It looks great from the outside, but is actually terrible on the inside.  I'll be moving for sure.
Speaker 1
Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. Everyone says it's so great! That said, it's probably one of those places that's great to visit, but less so to live in.
Speaker 2
It has been ruined by all the tourists, unfortunately.  Trash, needles, and more trash everywhere.
Speaker 1
Oof, sounds a lot like San Francisco. Have you ever been there?
Speaker 2
That's exactly what it's like!  We should go to San Francisco together and complain about it the whole time.

Speaker 1
Where do you think you would want to move to if you leave Hawaii?
Speaker 2
I am thinking about California
Speaker 1
Are you planning a vacation to California?
Speaker 2
Yes. I want to look at places to live
Speaker 1
that's cool, Did you have a job there?
Speaker 2
Not yet I just want to look around and see if there is a fun place to work near the beach
Speaker 1
oh okay, I heard there beaches are really beautiful. I wish i could go there in summer.
Speaker 2
I am hoping to be able to do some new animal paintings and sell them 
Speaker 1
That's great. Do you have pets to paint?
Speaker 2
Yes I have a bird that I have painted a picture of
Speaker 1
I love birds, they're so soothing sometimes to be around them I had an Australian parrot once.

Speaker 1
How goes the job search in California?
Speaker 2
Right now I am just planning my trip so see if I even like it. People are telling me I am crazy for thinking of leaving Hawaii!
Speaker 1
I would agree with them! I am dying to see Hawaii. While I loved San Francisco, Hawaii looks like so much fun. Why don't you like living in Hawaii?
Speaker 2
I do love living in hawaii but there are not many opportunities for work. Maybe If I won the lottery or took up surfing I would be more compelled to stay. If definitely is a beautiful place to visit though, you should come visit me before I leave (if I leave!).
Speaker 1
I will take you up on your offer. The more I think about it, I more I understand how you are thinking. From what I hear, Hawaii is a really expensive place to live and I bet there are more job opportunities in California. When would be a good time for me to come and visit you? 
Speaker 2
When are you next able to get time off work? The sooner the better!
Speaker 1
I have some vacation time coming up soon. Next month actually. I would be able to stay for a whole week. Would I be able to stay with you the whole time?
Speaker 2
Yes, of course! I have a spare room at home. Would you want to bring anyone with you?
Speaker 1
If you had the room, I would love to bring the two kids. They are old enough now that I think they would love to see the beaches. If that is too much to ask, I'm sure their grandma would be happy to have them stay at her place.
Speaker 2
I say the more the merrier! I think it would be a great experience for them. How old are your kids?
Speaker 1
My son is 5 years old and my daughter is 8. They have never been on a plane before so they will think that is pretty cool as well. While we are there, maybe you can dust off your digital camera and take some pics of us by the beach! They would also love to see your bird! What is his/her name?
