I finally got to paint yesterday… for more than 15 minutes. IT. WAS. AWESOME. Wishing for more days like that. #wip #hornetsnest #art #darkart #dystopian #mentalhealth #momartist #womenartists #painting #arttherapy #SciArt

A painting by Emily Flint of a woman’s shoulders and head hanging upside down. The woman is looking up at a hornet hovering over her open mouth, her hair/head is a hornet’s nest, and there are two other hornets around her. Set against a dark landscape reminiscent of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

I’m sorry for the quick dismissal by your doctor. Unfortunately, this is so common😖 I’m not sure if you’ve seen this menopause wiki, but it has a lot of helpful info. menopausewiki.ca#there-is-no-...

Excerpt from menopause wiki explaining how hormone tests are inadequate for diagnosing peri/menopause.

A whitetail fawn in central Virginia. We’ve had a ton of late fawns this year. I’d love to see the tail of a blacktail. Are they actually black?

Yes! I think some of my gouache and paper is more expensive per sq. Inch, but I’ve always felt more free to play/experiment when using it!

Emily Flint Artist @emilyflint.bsky.social · May 17

I feel the same way. Beautiful piece!❤️

My girls gave me some #hahnemuhle paper and watercolors for Mother’s Day. Though we had norovirus kicking our butts for the past week, I was able to play a little. Watercolor and gouache. 10”x7”. #painting #watercolor #gouache #childhood #jamesriver #exploration

Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve over-committed to our flailing 130+ yr old art club and haven’t had time to paint. Here is a photo of a dead Luna moth with a baby slug, some mushrooms, and the start of a tiny egg tempera that I thought was funny. #lunamoth #slug #eggtempera #naturephoto #mushrooms
