Lin Zhongwen was very fond of painting and calligraphy, quick modeling. In 1977, we studied in department of fine arts of Fujian Normal University, learned from Yang Qiyu, Xie Yijia, Chen Dehong, Shen Jinshou and some famous teachers. Based on the traditional Chinese painting study, Zhongwen laid as a lifetime seeking faith in Chinese landscape bird and flower painting calligraphy field.

Gomez, gas grid work is the study of Huang Daozhou's forceful and vigorous, the most significant achievement of the contemporary learning calligraphy calligrapher.
Zhangwen's paintings are rich in themes, good at landscape painting flowers and birds. as the same as the painters who graduated from art colleges, he loves life, carefully observe the nature, visit the well-known mountains and rivers, looking for the source of creation in the feeling of the nature, to depict the image conveys the spice of life, make people feel warm and lively. Especially the works of calligraphy and painting, the most interesting of delighted. Such as "Secluded Mountains and Clouds Idle", "Clear Words Taste Fragrant Tea", "Tea Fragrance Melody", the pursuit of a natural life taste, and its thick leaf and dry chapped and portrait fine hook, rocks profile contrast is distinct levels, without losing the fine heavy muddy beauty, the vitality was born in silence. Zhong Wenyou was good at painting "Peony", pay attention to the overall layout, density with scatter, well-proportioned, contains vitality, in the language of ink, should combine pen, ink and color, endowed with bright colors, the peony show honorable and graceful manner. Many of the works loved by the people and to cherish.
His attitude towards art is persistent and positive. He likes painting the gorgeous peony, appreciate its flourishing view; the calligraphy writing also praise hometown poems, combined with his government work, not the usual language, apparently other pains. As a county leader, busy work can be seen, however, he did not relax the practice and exploration of art, political and artistic interaction, complement each other, quite a large achievement. It is precisely because he has a profound artistic accomplishment, cultural accumulation, political experience, the accumulation of life and enterprising spirit, the work has a fresh vitality. Art is endless, there is no perfect, and some are relentless pursuit. The first value of an artist is to establish his own artistic style, which includes both the artist's temperament and the accumulation of the exploration process. I hope in the future practice Zhongwen brother more wonderful, entering into the realm of a higher level.
