 著名美术史学家、中央美术学院教授 薛永年：

邓中和的花鸟画既画传统题材的荷花、牡丹，又画与特定环境融为一体的城乡花鸟，善于以传统的笔法和现代的构图相结合，在光影感和朦胧感中抒写高雅的情怀和动人的感受。在他的作品中，传统小写意花鸟的生动笔墨往往与林风眠的构图方式和色彩感觉结合为一，呈现出宁静而明丽，简洁而饱满，随机触发而又富装饰意匠的特点。

……无论精心之哦笔，还是随意之作，差不多都显现出三个明显的特点：一是画生机无限的光明宁静之梦， 以力图超越现实的心态，重建并无都市纷扰与心灵压力的精神家园，赋予作品以人文内涵。二是在不远离物象本来面目的描写中，把颇受书法陶融的流畅笔墨与讲求规则和变形构成的装饰意匠融而为一，在即兴挥洒中强化了作品的视觉效果。三是把平素涵养的书卷气与认真捕捉生活感受相结合，在作品中通过性情修养和真实感的表露而引导观者进入跨越时空的精神境界，共享艺术之美。

著名画家、荣宝斋总经理 中国美术出版总社社长 郜宗远：

邓中和先生的画，以山水、花鸟小品为主。花鸟画多为荷塘小鸟、田园草虫，风格清新飘逸，墨气与色彩相融；山水画多为山壑中农家、清幽之名胜，他追求在笔墨间寻觅“涤除玄览”的审美境界。

他绘制的花鸟小品，温婉清丽而生动；笔下的绿柳鸣蝉，超然于都市之喧嚣，以畅其神；他的山水小品，山村萧散简远而清幽，然而却充满生活气息。

中和所绘小品是传统的，但也是现代的，他在传统与现代之间捕捉着心中的梦境。
