Hans de Beer

Hans de Beer is a favourite artist of mine.  He has written and illustrated many books for children.
His very well known ones feature Lars the little Polar bear and his adventures.

I have other books that are beautifully illustrated by him.  He has a muted approach with watercolour and delicate inkwork in his art work. His animal characters always show great empathy without going overboard in the facial expressions.

 All his works are worth looking at for his fine drawing and reading for the amusing and heartwarming stories written by Hans de Beer and other authors.

Oh, to be a child again (or, to be thankful for being capable of retaining some childish pleasures. I'm still going through my first childhood...and I've still my second to enjoy when I outgrow this one)!

How beautiful his paintings are!

Cute! He has a gift which brings us back to those younger years. Beautiful, I agree. :)
