OBSESSED!: THE PAINTER'S HAND

There are paintings that reveal truth. And there are paintings that remember it.When restoration artist Nell Ashwale is hired to repair a damaged portrait, she expects cracks, age, and careful, methodical work. What she finds instead is something buried beneath the surface-another image, hidden with intention.As the layers come away, the woman in the painting begins to feel less like a subject and more like a presence. Familiar. Watching. Waiting.The deeper Nell goes, the more the boundary between artist and subject begins to blur. The face beneath the paint is not just another version of the portrait.It's hers.Drawn into a quiet, consuming unraveling, Nell must confront a truth that refuses to stay hidden: some works of art are not meant to be restored.They are meant to be completed.OBSESSED! is a slow-burning psychological descent into identity, memory, and the dangerous intimacy between creator and creation-where recognition becomes transformation, and the line between self and subject disappears.
