宋旭后皈依佛门，隐居佛寺，通禅理，一生笔耕不辍，81岁时尚绘《平沙落雁图》轴，精神难能可贵。他笔下的山水人物大都严谨细秀，用笔沉着劲练，以骨力 胜。尤其难得的是他的画技艺全面，功力浑朴，在师法前人的基础上有自己的创造，有一种超然物外的情趣，继承了宋、元讲求士气逸格、缜密秀雅的文人画传统风 格，布局爽朗明媚，景物雅意疏淡，笔墨苍润，追求摹古之风，于简淡中显示清雅含蓄的境界，表达了作者窥透世事红尘、悠游林泉的幽雅情怀，令人观之眼界肃 清，清心寡欲，在向往之余，生起无限联想。
       宋旭能詩工畫，善山水，兼長人物。少年時師事沈周(石田)，筆意相近,山石林泉，無不精妙；晚年融董源、巨然及元四家筆法，古拙蒼勁，自成風格。其巨幅大幛，層巒疊嶂，邃墼幽林，神韻飛逸，气象恢宏，海內競相購藏。明万歷間(1573～1620)，名重一時。年七十八﹐應苕上(今湖州市)諸名流邀請，至法華寺(原白雀寺﹐明万歷間僧如松重建后更名)繪名山十二景于殿壁﹐歷時五月而成﹐時人贊為妙絕。万歷三十三年(1605)，八十一歲時所作《羅漢圖》、 《干沙落雁圖》以及西湖山水，亦极有名。宋旭的畫作后來深得乾隆皇帝賞識，曾為之題字﹐尺幅寸縑，皆奉為至寶。桐鄉博物館藏有宋旭七十一歲時所作的《松壑 樹石圖》，畫面有清溪幽谷，奇峰峻岭，山石樹木，蒼勁古拙
       作品简介
       《寒江独钓图》此图绘雪景寒林。近处滩头窠石间有数株老松，或衡天而立，或倾斜偃仰于山根。左侧陡壁悬岩，以险取势。对岸奇峰叠起，耸入云端。山中白雪皑皑，银装素裹。一湾清澈的江水在三面群山环抱之中。两岸之间，拱桥横跨，一叶渔舟泊于江心，一翁垂钓，其态悠闲自在。图中近树用笔精工，远景点笔为树，信笔写之。画雪用染纸留白的烘托法。全画笔墨苍劲古拙，苍中带秀，柔中寓刚，画风近沈周而又有新意。
