what do these have in common?

Look closely at the five pictures below. Other than the fact that they all have children and water in them, what do they have in common?











answer: Although easily mistaken for photographs, these are watercolor paintings by artist Steve Hanks. It is very difficult to achieve this intricacy and detail using watercolors (look at the ripples and shadows!), but Hanks does a more-than-masterful job. amazing.
