TESTIMONIALS

We own three oil paintings by Pat. Her portrait of Maria perfectly captures Maria's joyful wind-blown expression in her natural environment and imbues the viewer with a strong sense of life and energy. We highly recommend Patricia Halsell to anyone seeking a portrait painter.

We love the surrealist composition of colors and themes in her "Thomas Cole's Kobucha", and how they evoke Fall in the Pacific Northwest. The contrast between the background tempest and the foreground fragile order is instantly relatable to anyone striving to retain inner peace in today's chaotic world. When we look at the painting we feel at home and inspired.

I own ten paintings by Patricia Halsell, four of which have been commissioned portraits.

Not only is Pat a meticulous and beautiful artist, she is also a delight to work with. She began each process by helping me select the reference photos and then “interviewing” me about my vision for each portrait or painting. Pat kept me informed at each stage of the work, solicited my feedback throughout the process and was happy to incorporate changes that I wished her to make. She was committed to ensuring that I was completely happy with the outcome, which I have been every single time.

Pat is a true professional. I love and value her work so much that I recently commissioned her to paint yet another portrait, of my late father.
