Art for Pride’s sake

Gay and Lesbian San Diego | LGBT WEEKLY
Williams’ “Sometimes I Paint Myself” series

Several months into what’s becoming an increasingly anticipated monthly exhibition of art by local LGBT and allied artists at the sleek offices of San Diego LGBT Pride (you know; the folks who put on the Pride parade and festival) in North Park, painter Jonathan Williams, also of North Park, wooed a modestly sized crowd of art lovers, last week.

Williams’ “Sometimes I Paint Myself” series was well received by those in attendance, and is a precursor to the artist’s “Beards” series, which will feature a cast of local characters who sport generous amounts of facial hair.

“He’s pretty talented,” said David Sparling of Ocean Beach. “And I think it’s great that Pride is doing this every month. I’m looking forward to seeing who they’ll have next.”
