Baby Fountain Fantasy

By Nancy Polo

Baroque fountain logic... Let's get 4 hybrid human-fish toddlers to hold up cement shells full of water, while their older sisters(?) aunts(?) throw water at them from a pitcher. Inspired by John Singer Sargent's A Marble Fountain at Aranjuez (1912). His work reminds me that purity of technique has no drama. I used touches of acrylic paint. Imagine if this were an ad for a family backyard water toy at Home Depot. What would you call it?
