Kever showed little wanderlust in his life. Except for short periods in which he worked in Nunspeet and Brabant, he always stayed in ’t Gooi. In 1887 he married and bought a house in Laren, opposite Anton Mauve's 'Villa Ariette', toward whom he held great esteem (when Mauve once came to assess a painting, he hid it, saying it had already been sold and shipped, fearful of his judgment).

Kever is counted among the Larense School. He painted landscapes, portraits, still lifes and a number of cityscapes, but became especially known for his many sober peasant interiors from the then-poor Gooi region. In his best works he outshines his 'rival' Albert Neuhuys. Kever's art is sensitive and harmonious in tone and light relationships, but always restrained and rarely emotionally charged. He made only limited use of contrasts and lighting effects. In later years his brushwork became somewhat looser and apparently he gained more self-confidence from his success.

Kever died in Laren in 1922, 67 years old. In his memory, the 'Hein Keverweg' in Laren has been named after him.
