Some morning excercises since this big belly keeps me from real physical excercises! 🤰🤣 Being pregnant has kept me from big projects but I'm enjoying the peace, hopefully little babes will let mama work on art when he arrives! ❤ • • • • • • #gouacheartist #gouache #artstudio #summermornings #peaceful #practice #creatives #artlife #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook #flowers #artwork #pregnantartist #mamaartist #27weekspregnant https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVjPj4H2Np/?igshid=1w4c2t3f0w5rv

Painted my baby boy as a doll, now I wish I really had blue fabric like this to make him a little romper! Maybe I need to try my hand at fabric dying! #watercolor #watercolorart #illustration #babyboy #babyromper #kidsfashion #childrensfashion #fashionillustration #babyootd #blueandyellow #portrait #myson #momlife #sahm #wahm #customartist #mamaartist

So I just read one of your flower shop posts (the one about aloe vera girl, mason jar masterpiece bouquet dad, and the orchid lady) and it's the kind of aww I need in my life. Could you share some more?

٩(◦`꒳´◦)۶ Can do!So we (me + boss) call this girl “The Artist”

She appeared in our shop maybe…two/three-ish?? years ago.She’s pretty young, maybe now 16 or 17. Her mom appears to work in the hospital down the street, so we think she comes here to wait out MamaArtist’s shift. She’s a small, shy type, with long brown hair and a bright yellow cardigan that she kinda tries to hide in. She has a sort of “routine” when she shows up. She’ll show up in the far end of the store, peek around the orchids, and if you don’t glance over at her, come to stare longingly at the roses. She’ll then realize there are people around and scatter to the café tables. After building a fort of books, she will carefully sneak a sketchbook out and start drawing. Few hours later, MamaArtist shows up and they leave. SO one day, she’s staring at the roses, and I happen to have one that breaks off and is too short to sell, so I smile and hand it to her. “Take it, it’s free.”She just STARES at me, and points at it and says, “Free?”I nod, “Yup!” and she’s SO HAPPY!! She starts talking to me really fast, and I realize why she’s so quiet– She doesn’t speak a lot of English!And….ugh….now I’m embarrassed to admit this, but while I recognize that what she’s speaking is Spanish, I can’t speak Spanish beyond like… drunk kindergartener. In present tense. On alternate tuesdays with mild improvements if I’ve been attempting to read the Spanish sides of the warning labels on chemical bottles. She realizes quickly that I am a deer-in-the-headlights and starts to run off, but I manage to scrape together enough itty-bitty BROKEN ASS Spanish to make her laugh and diffuse things, kinda. I get from her that she loves roses, but they’re too expensive for her art. (btw my boss is behind her with the waterboy, ABSOLUTELY THRILLED that she’s talking to me, because The Mystery Of The Yellow Cardigan Customer is one that has haunted us for a few months now.)ANYWAY, I love art, so I try to ask about her art, but, : ( She can’t find the words for it, and I can’t understand her explanation in Spanish, and IT WAS TOTALLY NOT HER FAULT but she got embarrassed and thanked me profusely for the flower and broke the sound barrier to escape. Boss swoops in for the down low, and….I haven’t really detailed the conversation I had with this girl here, because it is LONG and kiiiiiinda embarrassing and I tried to type it out but i fell like it came off waaaay too one-sided in my favor because I couldn’t accurately recall the Spanish she was speaking. I just felt like it wasn’t fair, you know? She was shy, but when speaking about her art, her voice was confident and she clearly knew what she was talking about, so yeah. I’m also speaking with some hindsight right now, because I know where this goes, and what she must have been trying to say, but at the time I was beyond confused and embarrassed. Boss hears me out and then sort of hums. She grabs one of the bouquets I’ve set aside for an arrangement and snaps off two of the buds. Then she marches over to the girl’s table and sits down across from her. She probably gave the girl the roses, and used the power of being a sweet, gentle older lady to coax out the girl’s story, but there’s a wall in between us and the café and I didn’t want the girl to feel….more….cornered, ha ha. So I kept doing my job.GUYS. I may have hinted at it with “The Artist” but this teenage girl is AN ARTIST.Boss comes back, this time armed with photos and GUYS. This girl is using the petals of flowers to VERY DELICATELY create watercolor and petal collages of high fashion dress concepts! I’m not going to post the photos, and i hope it’s obvious why, but THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL and WAYYY beyond what you’d expect from a high schooler. (Okay, so I paused and tried to google for something similar, and I can’t really find anything, but google “petal dress watercolor” and look at the fourth result which is like…a simple outline of a woman with a dress made of rose petals and its KINDA similar? But this girl is making pieces way more detailed and large scale and conceptual. The watercolor she’s painting is also more realistic.) So The Artist has been using flowers she cant find, or cheaper ones she can afford. One of the paintings (probably about a 9x12) is clearly crafted out of GOD KNOWS HOW MANY little yellow DANDELION petals, and seems to be of Belle from Beauty and the Beast? Another one is a flow-y dancer in Portulaca petals she has totally been snagging from our store displays and tbh ROCK ON girl. I could go on and on, but THIS is what she’s been up to in our café behind those books!!!! ART.I’m kinda stunned, because DAMN, she’s like 15 (at the time this happened) and I wish I’d had that skill at 15 holy shit. Boss flips through the photos, and shows me the sketch this girl has JUST STARTED for the rose petals I gave her, and its a series of tiny little ballerinas and AAAHHH GUYS SHE’S SO GOOD.  Swear to god the second I discover her online I’m promoting the shit out of her.So here we are, ooooohhing and aaaaahhhing over these photos when Boss gets this super serious look on her face. She stares at me, grabs one of the BRAND NEW rose bouquets– a really big, really pretty set of fire roses (uh, yellow roses that fade into orange and then red at the tips) then looks around the store for our managers and shrugs.She proceeds to slam the guillotine down just underneath the heads with the most deadass “oops” I have ever heard. She grabs one of our paper bags, and we quickly shove all of the rose heads into the bag. She runs off.I peek around the corner just in time to see Boss hand the bag over like a sack of cocaine, shoving them behind the girl’s books, patting her on the shoulder, and running off. I’m laughing really quietly but really hard, because The Artist looks SO CONFUSED and baffled. Boss is giggling and grinning, and we don’t even try to hide when The Artist opens the bag and sees what’s inside. guys, I felt super bad for a second because she started to cry. Like, actually cry. She rushes over and tries to give it back, but we just insisted it was hers. My Boss’ only price? She had to come and show us the finished pieces. Which she did. And has, since we’ve been sneaking her bags of broken flowers to play with while her mom works. We’ve seen her less as she’s gotten older, but she texts Boss pictures every once in a while of her art, and I HOPE TO GOD she’s entering contests because she has some serious talent.

Little 2 hour portrait of my Phoenix. I'm pretty pleased with this one, not perfect but you can definitely tell it's my cheeky boy. Need to work on some more in depth portraits over longer time span and see what I'm capable of. #portrait #pencildrawing #artistsoninstagram #son #mamaartist #michellemorganart http://ift.tt/2zUNRmV

My youngest daughter did this cup weaving and was very engaged in it, not her usual talkative self. The pom poms were her creative idea. 💖💖💖 . . . #artistwitch #miniart #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #pittsburghartist #artistsofpittsburgh #artistmama #artistmomma #mamaartist #mommaartist #creativekids #mixedmediaartist #cupweaving #kidcrafts #timekiller https://www.instagram.com/p/CNX0PMRhfD3/?igshid=oj9ga2gnkthp
