About this ebook

Robin Moore has always been fascinated by water. It is something so simple and seemingly so small, but it has had an enormous impact on the lives of everyone—and it will continue to do so. The book doesn’t explore the science of water, which is vast, complex, and perplexing. Rather, the author’s aim is to share a portfolio that illustrates how water has had a profound impact on our lives and emotions. To achieve his goal, he had to understand the laws of water before he could successfully demonstrate its impact. His investigation into the way water flows and moves, and how it creates patterns and shapes our lives, took him on an interesting journey from the humble drip to the mighty oceans. Art is about emotion, understanding colour, and observation. By bringing science and art together, the author calls attention to the magic of water.
