Lynen was a figurative painter with a modern touch. He remained much more traditional in terms of aesthetic views: a realism with impressionistic influences. He had a strong preference for the sea, dunes, beach and harbors, there are also Scheldt views, portraits, figures, interiors, still lifes and cityscapes . A number of his works were shown in Switzerland in 1917 in the "Exposition des peintres du front belge".
In 1919 Lynen left for France. He lived in Versailles and also worked in Brittany: Cancale, Camaret, Concarneau as well as the Landes and on the South Coast. He became a member of the "Société du Salon d'Automne" in Paris and participated in the Salons. He exhibited regularly in Belgium between 1919 to 1967.
In 1927 Lynen came back to live in Belgium, first in La Hulpe and then Brussels. He again participated in the many salons in his own country and also exhibited in group exhibitions in Bergen, Copenhagen, Paris, Brazil and Japan.
In his own country he often worked in Ostend, in De Panne, along the Scheldt both above and below Antwerp. Brussels was also covered a lot: The Duden Park , a street in Forest in the snow,. He also undertook two trips to Norway, where his son-in-law did an internship for the company he worked for.
