Rocks Point Reamer 

Rocks Point Reamer is an oil on canvas artwork of a coastal scene by Rose O'Neill, an American artist who lived from 1874 to 1944. O'Neill lived an unconventional life and her diverse experiences shaped her artistic vision. As a woman working in the arts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she challenged traditional gender roles. O'Neill was interested in representing a female perspective that was often absent from mainstream art. With its rugged landscape, Rocks Point Reamer seems like a classic landscape painting. Yet, one wonders, if the composition and the brushstrokes also reflect O'Neill's desire to capture the power and scale of nature from a woman's point of view. This painting stands as a testament to O'Neill's determination to express her unique vision, providing a window into her world, and her place within it.
