Ocean Beach by Jenn David Connolly in Ocean Beach, San Diego, California

I live a few steps from the Pacific Ocean and love watching the ocean waves by day and hearing them crash softly in the night. Ocean Beach is a special neighborhood—artsy, funky and a little set back in time, yet timeless. I recently heard someone describe it as “the best little town on earth”… To say it is unique would be an understatement. The ocean is so healing and peaceful; living so close to it definitely brings a constant calmness into your life. I created this illustration to represent all these characteristics and the beauty of my neighborhood, Ocean Beach.
