Due to its size,however, Bea asked that it be delivered to her home and hung in her living room. Steven agreed and wroteup a dated invoice for “1 Master painting” to be delivered and installed at Bea’s address “sometime nextweek.” Steven initialled the invoice and marked it “Paid.”Steven did not deliver the painting the next week, but instead took it to Bea’s house the week following.
