This painting of a haymaking scene shows the landscape in summer on a cloudy day. In the centre of the composition a horse and cart stand beside a haystack being loaded onto a hay cart by two agricultural workers. To the left of the composition two indistinct figures can be seen walking and in the distance to the right of the composition stands a red-roofed whitewashed cottage. Despite spending most of her time in London, Fell made frequent trips home to Aspatria. She was preoccupied with the area around the town as an artist. The villages, cottages, farms, farm animals and people working in the fields and the Lake District fells were the subjects of her art. In her early work she used a dark colour range which lightened over the years as can be seen in this painting.
