Brian Becroft The Horn of Africa 2006 - Arch With Seal And PianoMichael Parekowhai has been in the top rank of contemporary New Zealand artists for nearly 20 years...

Brian Becroft Piano at Greenwood Great House And it is some piano too don't you think?
Inside the great House is the best collection of colonial-era antiques to be found in Jamaica, from obscure musical instruments to Flemish thrones and desks from the 17th century with secret compartments. An inlaid rosewood piano belonged to King Edward VII, and a portrait of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cousin hangs on the wall.
