I don't mind varnishing, but I don't like it for most of my works. I think that is changes the feeling I was going for. Most of my work is dimensional. It has depth and texture. I add layers of fabric, fibers, findings to my works. This is hard to varnish without changing it in someway. I have paintings that I did many moons ago, before I knew about varnish. Between all the movings and hangings, they still look great! I varnish only on works that I know can withstand the process without changing what I was going for!!
