I love anything Ailsa Black does.

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. 😁

Beautiful cards

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.

Painting is beautiful

Painting is beautiful. The colours are striking. My granddaughter will love it when she comes back to stay. Ordering was really easy and delivery fast. I was so impressed I have ordered something else.

Art commission

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.
