Pattison's winning life drawing is in the MMFA's archive and can be viewed on the Canadian Heritage Information Network website.

A Dictionary of Canadian Artists[7] states that Pattison "worked part time as an illustrator for the Montreal Gazette.

[10] In his review of the two works in the 10 March 1925 edition of the Paris-based arts and letters magazine Revue du Vrai et du Beau, French art critic Comte Chabrier commented on "the strength of the drawing, the simplicity and good taste of their composition, precision, and vividness of color" and described Pattison as "a watercolorist endowed with truly original temperament".

Several of Pattison's works were published as part of the Canadian Artists Series of Christmas cards, which Library and Archives Canada says were produced circa 1927 to 1931.

His work is included in the collections of the MMFA, Library and Archives Canada and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
