Mission Displaying Dinosaur Artwork

The work of the Hollywood movie artist who inspired “Jurassic Park” is now on display at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

Artist William Stout’s exhibit opens to the public today and will run through Feb. 22. The show includes 20 oil paintings, watercolors and drawings depicting the dinosaurs, penguins, whales and other wildlife of Antartica’s past and present.

The Walt Disney designer also wrote the book, “The Dinosaurs--A Fantastic New View of a Lost Era,” which was the inspiration for Michael Crichton’s book and movie “Jurassic Park.”
