Ross Whitlock: In Nelson

7th – 25th January 2011

Reception for the artist Friday 7th January, 5-7 PM

For the first exhibition of the New Year, Taylor-Jensen Fine Arts welcomes back former Palmerston North artist, Ross Whitlock now living and working in Nelson. Ross Whitlock : In Nelson features 30 works in oil on canvas or panel and two framed pastels. This exhibition comes exactly four years after Ross retired from full-time teaching – he had been, prior to retirement, Head of the Department of Art and Arts Coordinator at Nga Tawa Diocesan School, Marton. The show focuses on Ross’s love for the sea and the foreshore. When not sailing with his wife Hilary in Tasman Bay or the Marlborough Sounds, Ross can be found walking the dogs on the beach or painting en plein air. Although he painted ‘out-of-doors’ regularly while in the Manawatu and on travels throughout New Zealand, living in Nelson allows Ross to paint ‘on site’ more regularly. In his so-called retirement, Ross has spread his artistic wings even further and developed a more vivid and impressionistic art style. The Nelson influences of sun, sand and sailing will be apparent to gallery visitors. Collectors of Whitlock’s works and potential new purchasers will surely be pleased to see the land and seascapes that are now created from his new palette and loosened technique. A reception to honour the artist will be held at the gallery, 33 George Street, Palmerston North from 5-7PM on Friday 7th January. The public is cordially invited to attend the opening and meet the artist.




The event of the Year
1st XV national rugby final results
Posted on Tuesday, 7 September 2010, 12:58 p.m. by Mrs Leanne Chamberlin Print Article

Manurewa High School’s 1st XV competed in the National 1st XV Rugby co-ed finals in Rotorua from 3-5 September. It is the first time the school has ever made the finals of the national competition, which brings together the top co-ed school’s rugby teams from each of the four New Zealand regions (Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and South Island) and is run in conjunction with the Open Top 4.

The Manurewa team’s first match was a semi-final against the current New Zealand co-ed champions, Fielding High School, on Friday 3 September. The Manurewa team played with heart and skill, stealing the game in the last ten seconds with a try to winger Mike Timai, leaving the final score at 17-15.

The semi-final win propelled Manurewa High into the final on Sunday 5 September, where they faced St Kentigern (who defeated St Andrews of Christchurch in the other Friday semi-final). Manurewa High lost the final 37-22. Losing many of their own line out throws cost the team possession, but they played with heart, courage and flair to still score three great tries in a gallant defeat. Manurewa High School points scorers in the final were tries to Toetu David, Mark Talaese, LJ Fepuleai, with Mark Talaese kicking two conversions and one penalty.

Coach and Director of Rugby at Manurewa High School, Andrew Talaimanu, noted standout players in the tournament were captain and flanker Roy Sa’u, forwards LJ Fepuleai, Richard Mariota and backs Mark Talaese, Toetu David and fullback Alex Mase.
