Just some quickie watercolor script practice today. Happy Monday! Hope yours is loverly!
I’m trying out a new angled brush today (still needs work) AND trying to get into the Valentines week spirit! Hey friends, I like you!!
Happy September! We spent the Labor Day weekend celebrating our favorite little girl, who is now 6! It was such a blessing to indulge ourselves in pink for a few days (even the boys), and now I’m still smiling from all the “sugar & spice!” Have a great Tuesday!
Playing around with a chevron colorway tonight. My daughter has been telling me she likes where the paint colors “run together.” She’s learning about watercolor through this adventure!
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.
