My question now is if I should pick a profitable keyword(good demand,low supply) for the cartegory name i create or if it can be just anything. "figure painting" i dont think is very profitable keyword.

You should choose an on topic keyword for your category - how about "figure painting in oil" or "oil figure painting" - you are then covering your three major keywords. You are using AdSense to monetize the site; AdSense reads the content of the page and delivers ads related to the page content. The name of your category is not quite as relevant as the post title and page content.

I was also wondering if its possible to use a word for a category then use different word for the menu for that category,For example ,use "oil painting" for category but on the menu bar for that category would read "portraits"

I am tempted to say that this is not possible, but there may well be a WP whizz kid out there who can prove me wrong. You can use a word for a category then a different word for the filename/address, this is called the "slug". Category - Word A, Slug - Word B but using this method lessens the impact of both words.

The new pages i want to create that I want on the menu bar, I do not want the date and comments or anything that would make it look like a post to a blog,( i want them to be like the "about" page) But i dont want to get rid of dates/comments for the whole site but just a few pages.

The good news here is that you can disable comments on a post by post basis. Look at the bottom of the post writing area for "Discussion" and untick "Allow comments on this post".
Which pages do you see yourself wishing to include dates? You may have to make a decision on "all" or "none" on the date issue.
To remove the dates you are going to have to change the code. Are you OK with that?
If so, go the the Apperance section, click on Editor. You should see a list of files on the right hand side; look for single.php (this is the template for all posts) and copy all of the code and paste it into a Notepad file so you have a backup in case things go wrong.
Now look for this line in the original file:
<p class="topMeta">by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on <?php the_time('M.d, Y') ?>, under <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
Delete it.
This will remove the author name, the published date and the category link the article has been published under. If you want to leave the category (I think it advisable as it helps people navigate the site) you could replace the above code with this:
<p class="topMeta"><?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
This would look like this "Category Name" on the page. If you wanted "filed under category name" you would have this code:
<p class="topMeta">filed under <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
I think there are still some decisions for you to make regarding navigation, but have a go at this first then we can look at navigation.
Don't forget to make a back up of single.php before you change it.
Any changes we make now can be reversed, so don't worry if things don't look like you want them to.
