SQUIRREL STUMP FOUNTAIN
Two Squirrels, a Bird, and a Jar That Tipped Over
There is a small story built into this one, which is unusual in a category that is mostly abstract rock and tiered bowls. A jar has tipped over on a tree stump and is pouring. Two squirrels are at the base watching it happen. A bird sits on the branch above. Nothing is symmetrical and nothing is decorative for its own sake, because every element is playing a part.
The water comes out of the jar and works down through four rock basins built into the stump, and the whole piece is finished in bark and rock texture with the animals painted. The squirrels have real detail in them, which is what decides whether something like this reads as charming or as cheap.
Thirty inches tall on a twenty three by seventeen inch base, and twenty eight and a half pounds. It works low down, beside a path or at the front of a border where people walking past come close enough to notice the squirrels.
What You Get With This Squirrel Fountain
-
01
It has a story in it.
A tipped jar, two squirrels watching, a bird on the branch. Nearly everything else in the category is abstract rock or a tiered bowl, and neither gives anybody something to point at.
-
02
The animals are actually detailed.
That is the whole difference between charming and cheap on a piece like this, and it is where the work went.
-
03
Thirty inches and twenty eight pounds.
Low enough to work at the front of a border or beside a path, light enough that one person moves it without trouble.
-
04
Warm light beneath the basins.
The water lights from underneath after dark, which picks out the pouring jar and leaves the squirrels in soft shadow rather than floodlighting them.
Low and close. Beside a path, at the front of a border, by a door, or anywhere people pass within a few feet of it, because the detail is the reason to own it and nobody sees a squirrel from thirty feet. It is wider than it is tall, twenty three by seventeen inches, so it needs ground rather than a corner. A dark planted background makes the painted animals read better than a pale wall does. Put it where children can get a good look at it.
