孙菊生的国画创作主张“真”、“美”、“活”、“趣”，即真实、美观、活泼，强调形与神的统一，主张质感、美感和动感，强调形与神的互补关系，提出“寄神于形，形随神逸”、“以少总多，情貌并备”。在创作实践中，善于处理传统与现代的关系，体现了他所倡导的“望今制奇，参古定法”的美学观点。他每画皆题有诗词，画就诗亦成，因此他的画总是画中有诗，诗中有画，诗情画意，意境深远，相得益彰。
他在绘画、书法、诗词等方面出版有《千猫图》画册、《诗和词的读与写》、《诗和词的文艺寻踪与拾遗》等著作。
1985年被聘为北京市文史研究馆馆员。现为北京文史研究院名誉馆员，1984年——2003年11月湖社画会会长、北京海峡两岸书画联谊会常务副会长，现任会长，北京画院老画家、国家一级美术师、延安文艺学会会员、中国美协会员、北京大学俗文学学会诗钟委员会委员及北京诗词学会顾问。
