Have just received my order from Ailsa, 2021 calendar, Christmas cards & blank greeting cards. All the pictures are rally lovely & great fun. The calendar is a good big size with a fun picture at the top & plenty of room in the date area for adding my entries. Found Ailsa's site unexpectedly after seeing her calendar in a charity catalogue & so glad I did, would certainly buy from her again. The paintings & prints on the website look fab as well. Order dealt with quickly & Alisa replied to my email query promptly.

I adore this lovely artist’s work. We first found it on a visit to Scotland and have loved it ever since. The pictures are so full of character and colour. I got a set of cards but have to get some more because I don’t want to send these out to people, I’m going to frame them instead. Ailsa and I have sent a few messages to each other and she is full of warmth and humour. 😁

On visiting Ailsa Black's website I was amazed at how talented and how funny the items were.I loved the names of each card and found it difficult to decide which ones to choose. On choosing 4 cards I was able to pick a free card and when my order arrived there was a hand written card thanking me for my purchase a very personal touch. Thankyou

Gorgeous cards (something a bit different.) Better value than the high street and a chance to support a local artist. Prompt delivery too. Highly recommended.

Ailsa accepted a commission to paint our, much loved, family pets. After providing Ailsa with information about the pets, she provided sketches leading to 2 beautiful paintings which will give, our whole family, many years of enjoyment to come. Ailsa endeavoured to ensure that the ‘essence’ of the pets has shone through. Absolutely delighted with the finished work and can’t recommend her work highly enough. Many thanks. June Bain
