In the early 1920s, Pelton painted Hayground Windmill, Bridgehampton, capturing the historic windmill that also served as her residence and studio during that period. This work reflects Pelton's deep connection to her surroundings, as she often drew inspiration from the natural and architectural elements of Long Island. The painting exemplifies her transition from representational art to more abstract, spiritual compositions, influenced by the serene environment of the Hayground area.
