This Leaping Trout Weathervane V3 was a custom order for the Prado Regional Park Snack Bar Renovation project. Because of the size of the Snack Bar and the relatively short distance from which it would be viewed, a small stylized design perfectly suited the site. This is an all copper sculpture piece, fabricated in simple swell bodied style. We love the sense of motion crafted in the splashing waters as the trout leaps.

We ‘time stamped’ the weather vane with our 2026 West Coast Weather Vanes copper token sealing the end of the copper tube. That could be a wonderful discovery many years from now, after the sculpture piece has weathered and created its patina, and no one remembers its origins. It also establishes provinance in the world of American Folk Art.
