We’re spending the week in Gulf Shores, AL for a summer beach hoorah before school starts again in a few weeks. I hope I’ll still be able to paint each day — influenced by the sea and surf, I’m sure. I started with a little color study of the beach vibrance.
Happy Independence Day!
We are excited to be heading into a long 4th of July weekend and then a week at the beach in Gulf Shores, AL. I’ll be continuing to paint along with my little sidekicks and I’m sure we’ll share some of our beachfront adventures. Very blessed!
Today I’m experimenting with a few more color grids. We are traveling to the beach next week, where I’m sure sand, surf and shells will occupy my painting inspiration, so I wanted to get in a little more abstract work before then. I like the direction the abstract work is taking this summer and I hope to get a little further with some themes to take into the fall.
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.
