Gwen wrapped the frame In a piece of cloth and put it in the back of her wardrobe. Shutting the door, she turned to her servant. "Milena do you know of an artist I can hire to take paint my portrait?"

Milena bit her lip in thought, "um maybe."

"Well do you think that you could ask around for me?"

Milena frowned, "ok I could try." She then brightened, "wait I think I know someone." She smiled, "yes he's perfect. "I'll go find him," she turned and before Gwen could say anything she had hurried out of the room.

Gwen blinked, "ok then." She said to herself.

Later that day Gwen was working in her embroidery when Milena reappeared. "My lady, I found an artist."

"Oh wonderful," she smiled. "When can I meet him?"

"Well he's actually here right now."

"Oh," Gwen replied in surprise.

"Yeah, he's my cousin Mason." Milena smiled.

"Oh he's your cousin," Gwen raised her eyebrows.

Milena nodded, "he's been studying to be an artist."

"Oh yeah, had he done portraits before?"

Milena nodded, "oh yes they are his specialty."

"Really, well send him in," she insisted.

Gwen smiled, "I here that you are a painter."

Mason grinned, "You have heard correctly."

"Wonderful, shall we get started?"

"Absolutely," Mason guided her to a chair. "You just sit right there and I will get started."
