Another building in the Cotton District in Starkville
Another building in the Cotton District in Starkville
Some days are lived with a more shaky hand than others. Still, we keep painting.
Corner of University Drive & Maxwell Street in the Cotton District — Starkville, MS
Happy Monday! I’m playing with color and pattern again today. I’d love to do these as a series with hand-drawn words in the solid area. Also, this weekend I thought it would be fun to take a look at the painting series all together so far. It’s neat for me to see what common themes may be emerging as I’m giving myself the freedom to paint whatever interests me each day.
Hello & welcome! I’m Haley Montgomery, and I’m the designer and owner of Small Pond Graphics. I sometimes fancy myself a frog kisser— a documentarian coaxing poignant moments from unexpected places. This blog has evolved from those moments.
The small Pond FIELD GUIDE is part diary, part sketchbook, and part wish list – an archive of ordinary wonders. For years, this space has housed my stories – creative ideas, vintage inspiration, our forays into curious places, and the simple artifacts of quiet of conscious living. Through watercolor, photography, and illustrated tales, these pages uncover the blessing of ordinary days and the wonder found in authentic places and pursuits.
I invite you to open the boxes.
Peek into the drawers.
Rustle through the pages.
I’m honored to have you here.
