I’m about ten days away from the end of this summer painting adventure, and I’ve stumbled across so many ideas I’d like to explore further. For now, enjoy today’s sketch from some photographs of the Cotton District!

A late entry in the Summer of Water series today, but I’ve been pondering this.
Last night, we returned from a wonderful week of family fun in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I think we’re all still in the glow of sun and togetherness! Happy Monday!
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.
