It is the story of a young man, Justin, who has the unusual ability of being able to see into the future but, as he constantly tells people, although he can see a person's future, he cannot control it. \nHis mother, a single parent with no current relationship, became aware of her son's gift when he told her she was about to have a baby, his new sister. He was four years old at the time. By the time he was an adult, his ability had become more of a liability for him and those around him, than an asset and as his fame spread so did the risks to his own peace of mind. As an escape he began to devote more and more of his time to painting, especially portraits, but this close contact with the people he painted only led to a greater understanding of what his psychic abilities really meant and the risks involved in disclosing them.\nFraser Oz's descriptions of his characters and locations are detailed and fascinating. The reader soon gets to know Justin and empathise with his dilemma; he has a gift he cannot control and is no longer sure that it is wise to share his previews\u2014as he calls them\u2014with other people.\nThe book concludes with an exciting climax in which  he begins to appreciate the true value of the gift he has been given. This is a psychological novel which captures your attention to the very end. I look forward to reading Fraser Oz's next novel.\u201d<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Joan Fallon<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">Author of <em>The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries<\/em><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-81c6808 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"81c6808\" data-element_type=\"section\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e61221\" data-id=\"8e61221\" data-element_type=\"column\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-191f11c elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"191f11c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">\u201cThe Portrait Painter will take you on a colorful philosophical adventure! The very first brushstroke captured my attention and I didn\u2019t want the journey to end. Fraser Oz skillfully paints an entire landscape with a single sentence - the ins and outs of a relationship with just a few lines of dialogue. He takes you on a ride where the action scenes are visually stunning page-turners! As I traveled from one chapter to the next, I rooted for the compelling characters and their love for one another.\n\u201cThe main character, Justin Gates, has unique powers that prove to be both a blessing and a burden. I found it fascinating to ponder how Justin comes to understand and use his insights. His actions lead to light, entertaining moments, surprising plot twists, and also some challenging turning points and opportunities for existential realizations and closure. I empathized with the moral dilemmas the characters faced, and found myself wondering what I would do in their place. Much like a beautiful yet haunting portrait, this novel stays with you long after you read it.\u201d<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Mara Lea Brown<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">Artist, author and teacher<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb5d8d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"eb5d8d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">\"Thoroughly enjoyed the book!

The feeling is so strong that you think it must be true, without pondering how you could possibly know about a future event. What would you do? Would you try to tell someone? Would they believe you? Would it change things?\"This is the starting premise of \"The Portrait Painter\" by Fraser Oz. It follows Justin starting as a young boy who occasionally has such premonitions, through his growing up and young adult life. I was hooked from the start by the unexpected twists and turns that accompany Justin's attempts to act on his premonitions, with so many obstacles arising to be dealt with.<br><br>\nThe characters were well developed and believable, and I couldn't help rooting for Justin to find some way of living a \"normal\" life despite his odd ability. I loved watching him develop his love and talent for painting, and the way this grounded him and gave him an ability to relate profoundly to people through his uncanny abilities as a portrait painter. The author has a good empathy for the craft of the painter!<br>\n<br>The book often became page turner that I couldn't put down for long stretches.
