should I admit it 😅…


Insider Members,

Hmmmmmm should I admit this …… ugh…..

I am falling behind 😅

My long distance, art bestie Katie Smith has painted over 50 minis so far and I just finished painting my 33rd mini this morning.

She started working on her minis a week after I did and somehow she has soared past me 🎨 💨

If you are new here, Hi 👋 welcome to the Insider Members.

Katie and I are collaborating on painting 400 mini paintings (200 for each of us) and we have approximately 6 weeks to complete this project before we board our flights to meet up at a special destination to piece all of these minis together to create one big painting unitedly!

I’m so excited Katie has gotten so many done already, but that competitive side in me is having a hard time not having as many minis done as her 🤪

It’s not a competition by any means… it’s just something in me that struggles with “falling behind” in anything I do 😂

Does anyone else struggle with this self pressure? ✋

I think I might have to pull some all nighters to catch up with her and get my minis completed in time for our trip and big reveal!!

I’m gonna show you all the minis we’ve painted so far but first I wanna share a couple other updates with you!

Next week I will get to share 2 custom painted Bibles with you that I finished. One of them I finished at the beginning of this week and the other I finished months ago but I have to wait until next week to share them since both of these Bibles were commissioned to be given as gifts. I just don’t want to spoil any of the gift surprises (I have the all clear to share next week though 😉)

Over this weekend I’m gonna be working on custom painting 2 more Bibles and working on getting the September Edition of my mail club ready to be sent out to all of my KEAO CLUB MEMBERS 💌💌💌💌

This is an extra exciting and special edition to me personally cause this will celebrate one year of me sending out club letters and art to all the lovely people apart of this 🥹

I invite you to join the club to celebrate this milestone with me and receive the special artwork, letter, and an extra surprise I have planned for this edition 🤗💝💌📬 You have until Sept 31st to join!

Please note that on my website you will see the August edition featured… I haven’t shared what the September edition is yet (the September edition is what you will receive when you join 🥰)

Alrighty… now let’s show you what Katie and I have painted!

​
Oh quick curious question…..Do you have favorite things you wanna see painted in this collection? We do have a specific theme going…. maybe you’ll be able to guess what it is 🤭for now we can’t spill the beans yet with you on what our collection is inspired by, but Katie and I will next week!

Here is what Katie has painted so far 👇

I gotta share that this is my favorite painting Katie created this week 👇 it’s called “By Your Side”

Here is what I have painted so far 👇

Alrighty so if you are new here or if you happened to miss my last newsletter, here is something exclusive we are offering our email subscribers (aka all of you Insider Members reading this)

We are going to allow you to have first dibs on any of the mini paintings that catch your eyes and you can order them before the full collection releases publicly to our 155,000+ followers on socials in November.

There will only be 400 mini original paintings available for this collection release!

So if you already know you want to claim one or some of the minis shown in this newsletter before anyone else does, then directly reply to this email and tell me which one(s) you want from Katie and/ or me and I’ll send you a custom order link.🤗

Here’s some important info ‼️ 👇


#1 The minis you order will not be shipped until after the collection releases in November because Katie and I need them all until then so we can piece them together for the bigger painting they will all create unitedly.

#2 here is the pricing for the minis:

1 mini = $75 USD

2-3 minis = $70 each

4-9 minis = $65 each

10+ minis = $65 each with a free 8” x 8” print of the whole collection pieced together.

#3 All orders of original paintings will ship free in the USA 🇺🇸

#4 For International orders, we recommend budgeting approx. around $25-$35 USD for shipping costs.

#5 It's first come, first serve. Once you let us know which painting you want, we'll send you a custom listing. You'll have a grace period of 3 days after we send the listing to pay, but after that those paintings are back up for grabs to our email subscribers.


Some of y’all have already been jumping in on this opportunity to claim your favs!

Katie and I are super grateful for all of the enthusiasm y’all have been expressing to us about this art collab. Thank you all so much! We are tremendously grateful for you 🥰🫂 🫂

​
That’s a wrap for this week’s update!

Hope you have a wonderful of your weekend!

God bless,

❤️‍🔥Bri
