John Bauer was a Swedish artist famous for his illustrations in some story tales. He had a special mood in his painting of the life in the fairy tale forests. In my eyes his figurs was very friendly. It was probaly my first contact with art and i loved, and still do, his work 

This image I took in the forest of groengarn, south of city Enkoeping Sweden, I think the mood from his paintings has come through and remind me of the happy time of childhood
