Here's the latest drawings and clay sketches above. Earlier versions below.
This seemed a good start for a fountain design, there are many paths for water to trickle down.
But as I got started on it, he seemed too clownish. Or maybe I ran out of courage....

Thank you,Delphine.
Bien sur, though it's hard to get work done with the visitors passing through, all wanting to take their pictures posing with me.....
