Paintings by Tara Maginnis

I'm not much of a painter. I paint mainly for practice in costume painting, and to get ideas for makeup. Some, like The Cabaret, are conceptual pieces to help me to get started in designing a show. Others, like St.Petersburg 1993, are mainly therapy. Still, it's good to paint. Any art work you do in any medium helps you to get better in your main emphasis as well.
