This is a curious piece by Tera painted at a recent paint jam on the roundabout. It doesn’t really matter how much I try to enhance the image, it is difficult to properly see what is going on without getting up really close. I think that Tera was so into creating the piece (perhaps with a tattooist’s mindset) that he has lost some of the clarity and story in the heavy detail. That is not to say it isn’t a fine piece, rather that it is difficult for the viewer to appreciate.

The combination piece has a dark and rather evil demonic character in the centre, with three eyes, large fangs and a long tongue. It is holding two swords that frame the middle section of the piece. The letters either side of the character spell out TERA, in a nicely crafted style. Overall, Tera shows his raw talent with this piece, but for me, it is a little busy and could do with toning down a bit. Lots more to share from him as he has been out and about a fair bit this spring.
