Rip-Tide 

"Rip-Tide" is a painting by American artist Edith Vonnegut, born in 1949. The piece depicts a woman, possibly a mother, holding two children in her arms as they all jump from a boat, escaping a dangerous rip current. The woman's long, flowing hair and the turbulent waves suggest a frantic and desperate escape. Vonnegut's masterful use of light and shadow brings a sense of urgency to the scene. This work exemplifies the artist's ability to capture raw emotion through figurative art.
