Wish You Were Here: Postcards from South Ayrshire

Ayr
An illustration of Tiny Tam, a cute cartoon mouse, on a sandy beach with the ocean and a sailboat in the background. Tiny Tam is wearing yellow sunglasses, a blue-striped beanie with a pompom, and orange shorts. He has a pink flamingo-shaped inflatable ring around his body. To the left, a colourful beach ball rests on the sand. Behind him, a large postcard with a red and blue border reads "Wish you were here!" in a playful font, with a stamp in the top right corner that features a tiny mouse illustration. The scene has a bright and cheerful summer vibe.

Ayr
An oil painting of a seascape, depicting a turbulent ocean with crashing waves in shades of blue, white, and deep green. The thick, textured brushstrokes give a sense of movement and energy to the water. In the background, a misty landmass or rocky formation emerges from the sea, partially obscured by the atmospheric haze. The sky is overcast with a mix of light gray and white tones, blending seamlessly into the distant horizon. The painting has an impressionistic style, emphasizing the raw power and beauty of the ocean.
