Back into the palette after a weekend off! I’m thinking about lines today.

It’s been a lovely week around the Pond with some fun design projects, writing, painting and some unexpected time with my kiddos. Have a great weekend!
I didn’t really have time to paint today, but I made myself take a few minutes on the porch to at least capture some of the front flower bed and encourage myself to continue growing!
Yep, it is! Happy Wednesday!
Today’s sketch is a more abstract take on the lantana blooms from yesterday. I’m not totally convinced about the outcome, but the process of looking at something familiar as simple overlapping shapes is very interesting to me.
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.
