Hello Friends, Happy Friday to you. This is going to be a super quick post … another late night for me. After coloring all day and into the evening and learning cool stuff I haven’t been sleeping well. I think I am to pumped up?
Today I was thrilled to color this Power Poppy image… I have had my eye on this for awhile. On the left is the sample image.
Progress!
After spending time on this I was afraid to add the grass but, had to go for it.
What do you think? Excited to get some videos out for you guys when I get back. See you tomorrow! Thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

lisa bzibziak says
Gorgeous! Your grass is awesome! I know… I get to a point and love what I’ve done and then I am afraid I’ll ruin it…lol! Lately I remember your words… be fearless! What’s the worst that can happen?…lol… thanks so much for that! I think it’s really made a difference for me…
Kathy Racoosin says
Your kindness makes me smile, Lisa! I am grateful that my words of encouragement are helpful to you 🙂
Anne Sturgeon says
Oh these mushrooms came out so wonderful…. sorry you’re not sleeping well. There is something about your own bed! Love the colors and I am a big fan of Power Poppys stuff. Marcella is truly gifted.
Kathy Racoosin says
What a lovely compliment, Anne! Yes, part of it is not being in my own bed, but also all the fun ideas and inspiration I am exposed to here all day long. My head is swirling in excitement. Marcella is amazing in Power Poppy awesomeness 🙂
Dee Earnshaw says
wow these mushrooms look so realistic – thanks for sharing:)
Kathy Racoosin says
You are so sweet to say so, Dee! You brightened my day. Thank you 🙂
Robin A Patrick says
I absolutely love these mushrooms!! Oh my gosh, they are so well done. The details are amazing. And, when I look at them I almost expect them to talk. There’s the big Kahuna, the shyer one and the “bust my buttons” proud one. They make me smile.
Kathy Racoosin says
You make my heart smile, Robin! I love that you named the trio of mushrooms! Each time I color this image I will think of your thoughtful and fun comment 🙂
Marie Siler says
Wow. They look so real. You are a great artist.
Kathy Racoosin says
You are so kind, Marie. I think Power Poppy did the hard work, and I just had fun layering color 🙂
Mirella Rogan says
Stunning, Kathy! Can’t wait to join the fun next week! At least this week I can check out what others are doing 🙂
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you so much, Mirella! I’m glad you can peek at inspiration from others, but I am looking forward to seeing what YOU color next week 🙂
Jan Francis says
Gorgeous coloring, as ALWAYS. Question…where can I get those cute turquoise and green fabric buckets to hold markers?
Kathy Racoosin says
Hi Jan, They are from the Container Store 🙂
Teresa Doyle says
WOW Kathy. It looks like if you reached out and touched it you would feel the texture on the bumps! AH-MAZING work!
Kathy Racoosin says
That is so kind, Teresa! I am fortunate to have such fun dimensional images to color 🙂
Sheri Kempke says
Great job, the grass is awesome Kathy!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Sheri! You are so sweet 🙂
Henriëtte says
I can understand totally that you didn’t sleep well, ofcourse you are pumped up about everything you learn, see and hear.
Both are gorgeous but your result, if I may say so, is more gorgeous than the sample image, I think because of a brighter red it is more realistic, looks like the one I saw in the park two days ago.
Thanks for showing us, have fun and see/hear you tomorrow.
Kathy Racoosin says
Henriette, if you could see my face right now, I am blushing! Your kind words mean more to me than you can imagine 🙂
Candy says
Wow!! Very well done, Kathy!
Hope you get some sleep soon :o)
Kathy Racoosin says
Thank you, Candy! You are so kind. Even my dreams are all about the fabulous coloring techniques I am learning and practicing. The best possible exhaustion. I can’t wait to share with you all 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous as normal Kathy, they look so touchable & you should not worry about the grass as that’s just as realistic as those mushrooms. Beautiful card with a wonderful loving sentiment.
