Excellent experience.

Everything ran very efficiently,from placing my order, being told when my purchase was dispatched and receiving parcel a few days later.
I love Ailsa Black’s art work and products and would not hesitate to mention her website to friends.

Very good

Very good. Had to be patient to find this one to order for 2024 - I love Alisa Black’s calendars. Thrilled I have it and will be putting an alert for next year’s calendar ! Thank you. One request maybe please be to add previous month and following month on a little grid on each month’s page.

Many thanks Alex. Hope your aunt was pleased.

Thanks again!, Ailsa.

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.

A very special birthday!

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
