The print I had ordered came surprisingly quickly by Royal Mail. It was in a cellophane cover, rolled in a sturdy tube but easily flattened out after removal. As usual Ailsa's personal touches of a thank you note and cards accompanying the package added a warm glow to my satisfaction. The print 'Underneath A Purple Sky' is now up on the wall surrounded by my own mount and fuchsia chalk painted frame to enhance the wonderful colours of the print…I have a bit of a purple theme going! Thanks again Ailsa.

I was lucky enough to be able to commission a personal piece of art from Ailsa for a special birthday and I could not be more thrilled with the whole process and of course the painting itself! Ailsa was so helpful to guide me through the process, keeping me up to date as things progressed and sent lots of lovely photos as the work was being done. It was an absolute joy and Ailsa was a pleasure to deal with, it made the whole process seem a part of the gift. I have loved Ailsa's art for years and I could not be happier with my painting. It arrived beautifully framed and very safely wrapped. Thank you Ailsa! x

I love Ailsa Black calendars. My daughter bought me my first one for Christmas back in 2019 , now I seek the calendar each year. I’ve kept them all too… told myself they are for reference!!! But I just like looking at them …..

My order was dealt with very promptly. We have sent the calendar's to expat friends and family for the last 3 years, and they give us appreciative feedback ... the pictures are charming reminders of Scottish animals, birds and landscapes.

Ailsa was so helpful sorting out my order, even when there was a problem with delivery that was way beyond her control. I've loved having Ailsa's calendar above my desk throughout 2022 and I know I'll love a new image every month during 2023. We also loved the No Ball Games jigsaw and we're looking forward to more jigsaws in the future.

I stumbled across Ailsa's art one day while I was looking for something different to put up in my bedroom. I instantly fell in love with all of her pieces I could see and bought a couple and some lovely cards too. I could not have been happier the pictures make me smile every time I look at them her humor and the way she's captured all the animals is truly wonderful. Communication from Ailsa was also fantastic what a lovely lady. Thank you so much for your creations. I would definitely recommend.

We are so pleased with the painting. It arrived today and is beautiful. The colours are so vibrant, it’s even nicer than on the website. I had a few technical difficulties ordering on the website and Alisa sorted them out immediately for me. The packaging was super and delivery very quick even with the postal strike. Thanks so much.

Love the calendar especially as the week starts on a Monday. Fabulous designs and plenty of space to write comments. This is the 5th year I have ordered this calendar. Arrived very quickly.
