David Martin
"The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively." - Bob Marley With every life event, we are given the gift of choice. How will we cope with this? Will we crumble, become hardened, or grow? Can we do what needs to be done, or will we succumb to the call of the easier path? A weak man chooses to remain seated, rather than risk wrath and disapproval by standing up for what's right. Winston David Martin died Friday, April 9, 2021 after a valiant fight against cancer. He is survived by a Village comprised of his loving wife, family, friends, and the community that he cared so much for.
David Linton, Master of Watercolor and Pastel
David Linton passed away unexpectedly January 30, 2015, in San Diego. David and his wife, Carol, have been Ocean Beach residents for many years. David was very engaged in the Ocean Beach and Point Loma communities and generously donated many beautiful works of his art to local charity fundraisers throughout the years. Every day was a good day for David, because he was doing what he loved. David’s journey as an artist began at age twelve when his mother saw his artistic talent on his bedroom walls and ceiling. She promptly took him and purchased his first painting set and canvases. As his artistic talents became fine-tuned, and more in demand, he started participating and selling his paintings at street fairs and art festivals.
