Warmblood Horse Weathervane Design without Equestrian

 

The thumbnail image of the Warmblood horse weathervane on the left was made using copper and brass (no gold leaf) so as the weathervane weathers the contrast between the reddish copper tones and the yellower brass tones will become more subtle, as opposed to the image on the right where the gold leaf yellow tones will stay a shiny golden color.

 

The original version of this design was commissioned by a husband for his wife.  Their daughter who is an excellent equestrian has just left for college and the mother missed her greatly.  Now when she looks out her window towards the barn, it brings her daughter to mind and puts a smile on her face.

 

An interesting thing about this particular design is that it is composed of 2 distinct elements, the horse and the girl.  Normally in a 3-foot horse weathervane the horse would be 3 feet in size, however in this 3-foot weathervane, the horse is closer to 2 feet in size.  In the case where a weathervane has more than one subject you may sometimes need to go a larger size than you would if the weathervane consisted of only one design element..

 

The horse (Equus caballus, sometimes seen as a subspecies of the Wild Horse, Equus ferus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. Horses first evolved in the Americas, but went extinct there until reintroduced by Europeans. Horses have long been among the most economically important domesticated animals and are prominent in religion and mythology.

Both of these customer photos of the Dutch Warmblood Horse weathervane with a young woman are Extra-Large (4 foot) weathervanes.  The cupolas on which both weather vanes sit are quite large as are the barns below the cupolas.

These customer photos of their Dutch Warmblood Horse weathervane were installed on a copper roofed cupola on top of their barn.  To quote the letter that accompanied the photos, "Please consider us very 'satisfied customers', and I would be glad to recommend your work to any customers who would like to speak to me."
