Art in the Verdugo Mountains
HILLSIDE DISTRICT -- The Nature's Artists Club begins at 11 a.m.
today at Stough Canyon Nature Center.
The club is open to people 10 and older interested in drawing,
photographing, sculpting or painting in the peaceful and scenic
Verdugo Mountains.
"Oak trees and our sycamores are losing their leaves, but not a
lot," Recreation Supervisor Carol Mercado said. "The oak tree is
getting acorns, and the squirrels and scrub jays are going for the
acorns."
Docents will be at the center to help participants, who are asked
to bring their own supplies and previous artwork to share.
There is no cost to attend.
The nature center is at 2300 Walnut Ave. For more information,
call 238-5440.
