Water Tower Mushroom Cluster

Illustration by Tim Richer

Illustration by Tim Richer

Thanks to Tim for this really fun illustration. Tim’s illustration depicts water tower-like mushrooms (or mushroom-like water towers) in a nice little cluster among some rocks and greenery. In Tim’s colorful and creative illustration you can see that each mushroom has the same arrangement of “legs” as the water towers. Thanks for the really cool illustration Tim, we think it’s a lot of fun.

What kind of object or shape do you see when you look at the water towers? Let us know in the comments below.

Colour the Pearl Street Water Tower

Here’s something fun for families and kids! If you love the towers and want to contribute to the art show (location and date to be determined) coming up in April, you can use this free image to print out on your own printer to colour yourself.

Download this image to colour yourself!

We’d love to have your contributions, even if you colour outside the lines! In fact, we encourage it.  Purple skies, red water towers, orange trees, they’re all encouraged and accepted. Draw in some spaceships and flying cats if you want as well.

When you’re done colouring your water tower you can either scan it or take a photo of it so we can publish it on the blog. Be sure to include your names (and ages if you like). If you’d like your drawing to be included in the upcoming art show, let us know and we can work out a way to collect it (and return it, of course).
