Time spans more than half a century, and it is for flowers. As the author of the preface to this album and the chairman of China Calligraphers Association said, "Chinese is not empty, there must be a reason"; Mr. Zhang Senlin, who is 94 years old, is still devoted to the creation of calligraphy and painting, dabbling in various painting methods and techniques of Chinese painting, and setting the centenary exhibition of forest calligraphy and painting as the goal, aiming at a thousand miles.
Mr. Zhang Senlin's paintings and calligraphy works were completed in a span of nearly forty or fifty years on the basis of learning from others, through his own study and in-depth understanding of the connotation of China's paintings and calligraphy. The works completed at the age of 934 and those completed at the age of 40 to 50 are concentrated in one volume, and the progress track of their painting and calligraphy skills is vivid and interesting. As a member of China Artists Association, Mr. Zhang Senlin's unique painting skills and characteristics are increasingly prominent and mature. This collection contains more than 100 works.
