I ate in peace and was about to start another painting I had commissioned. It was a portrait of a family of four along with their pet. They gave me a picture to paint and I had to do it within 2 weeks max to 3 weeks they gave me time to finish it. 

I had to let them know when I was sending the painting and within a week I was to be paid. I have been doing commissioned paintings like this since I was 15/16 years old and depending on the size and what I have to paint I get paid between $800 and $3500 per painting. If the client likes it I sometimes get more than I agreed with them. 

The kind of painting I'm doing now will cost them $2700. I always say that I need 2 to 3 weeks to create a painting, but I manage to finish it sooner. I was so focused on the painting that I didn't notice I started humming and swaying from side to side (video above):

Oh
Oh, yeah
Did I catch your attention?
You look like you lost your breath
When I circle the room, you an owl, you gon' twist your head
Don't you come at me green with an attitude
Where my lips and my soles are at
If I leave you behind, you can look for the broken necks, no, no

'Cause I've been here once or twice
Never worry 'bout the eyes (come on)

Don't just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet
If you think they're looking at you
They're looking at me
I could make it nice and easy
I'ma take the lead
They ain't even looking at you, baby
They're looking at me

They're looking at me
Yeah, yeah, they're looking at me

Yes, I'm young for a teacher, I'll teach you what you don't know
(I could teach you the things that you wanna know)
But I can't give it up all at once, you would overdose
Don't you bring any bull in the room tonight
It's a whole new rodeo
It could be you and me
But you know that I'll steal the show, oh (yeah)

'Cause I've been here once or twice
(I've been here once or twice, babe)
Never worry 'bout the eyes
Never worry 'bout the eyes (come on)

Don't just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet
If you think they're looking at you
They're looking at me
I could make it nice and easy
I'ma take the lead (I'ma takin' the lead)
They ain't even looking at you, baby
They're looking at me

They're looking at me
(No, no, no, no)
Yeah, yeah, they're looking at me
But they're looking at me, babe
'Cause they're looking at me, baby

Looking at me
Looking at me
Babe
If I leave you behind, you can look for the broken necks
Don't you

Don't just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet (try to move your feet now)
If you think they're looking at you
They're looking at me
I can make it nice and easy
I'ma take the lead
They ain't even looking at you, baby
They're looking at me

They're just looking at me, they're just looking at me
They're looking at me
Yeah, they're looking at me, my baby
Yeah, yeah, they're looking at me (looking at me)
Don't you know that they're looking at me
They're looking at me

Before I knew it I had the sketch of the painting almost finished. I looked at my watch it was;a 2: p.m. so I decided to make me and Blue something to eat. I sent my dad a reminder to eat something too.

After I'd eaten and finished a sketch of a painting and decided to watch a film. I never do everything at once. If I finish a sketch in one day I never paint a picture. I prefer to leave it for another day because I might find some small mistakes that I haven't seen now. 

I decided to watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. After I had watched it, I played with Blue and did some physical exercises. Before I knew it it was dinner time and I decided to do something quick.

I sat down to eat when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door my dad was standing there '' Hey Honey'' he said and I let him in. I led him into the living room 

'' You're hungry. I made myself dinner and I can make you something '' I said and he nodded his head so I went to make him a sandwich and tea. When I came back with the food Blue was seated next to Dad 

''How was your day'' I said ''Good apart from Isabella's constant questions about the Cullens'' he said tiredly. I decided to change the subject to improve the atmosphere and we spent the rest of the time talking about something else. 

When it hit 9.30pm Dad decided to go home and I, after reassuring myself, set everything in motion and went to bed. I knew it was going to be a long week.
