@countryside_gallery TBT: Newtown Theatre by Davie Moore Davie Moore was born in the seaside town of Weymouth, Dorset, England. He began sketching at a very young age, winning many local competitions for his drawings & paintings. Leaving school at age 15, he continued to paint while working odd jobs. In 1972, Davie joined the British Merchant Navy and went to sea. Recognizing his mechanical & creative talents, Cunard Cruise Lines sent him to college. After graduation, Davie served aboard many of Canard's ships as the Engineering Officer including the line' flagship vessel the QE2. After circumnavigating the globe seven or more times, he returned to England. In 1989, Davie bought Tean, a 25-foot wreck of a sailboat. Refitting the boat by hand, he added many of his own inventions, as well as wind & solar power. Finally he began living his dream that now included sailing to & linking all of the towns in the world named for his hometown Weymouth. Stopping temporarily in Weymouth, Mass, he began drawing & painting again creating local scenes. Commissions for his original art & personalized work soon followed. In 1994, he sailed back to England, & then, without an engine set sail for Weymouth, New Zealand. This was the last voyage of the Tean. Davie hit a reef in the night & Tean sink & was lost. Penniless, Davie returned to New England where he began sketching & painting once again. Once more, his art provided the opportunity to fund and build a new boat - this time of steel. After living aboard for several years the Nantascot was sold. Davie returned to the States and recently he & his wife moved to Newtown. Davie has again began drawing local scenes, as well as commissions of home portraits, automobiles, & pets. Davie's work can be seen on permanent display at our South State Street Gallery. #penandink #daviemoore #newtownpa #tbt #gallery #landscape #paperart #landmark #inkdrawing #newtowntheatre #newtown #buckscountypa #illustration #gallery #lineart #fineartgallery #canvasart #residentartist #sailor #artist #tbt❤️ #fineart (at Countryside Gallery & Custom Frame Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtMjCmjqwG/?igshid=6dqs50almj47
