Catterline was a great source of inspiration for Eardley. Like Claude Monet, she often returned to the same motif within her landscapes. The fields behind the row of cottages provided the perfect setting to capture the last warmth of summer drying out the corn stooks.
'I find that the more I know a place, or of one particular spot, the more I find to paint...I very often find that I will take my paints to a certain place which has moved me and I begin to paint there and I find, by perhaps by the end of the summer I have not moved from that place. My paints are still there, I have worn a kind of mark in the ground, there's no grass left; generally a sort of studio seems to have arrived outside...it is still the same spot really, the same feeling that I am trying to grasp.' (Joan Eardley, interview conducted by the Arts Council, 1961).
