Getting ready for the show

So today I put some temporary finish on the paintings I am taking up to Park City (Gallery Mar). I am part of a show there with Mary Scrimjeour. I put on a temporary finish or varnish because the paintings really take some time to cure. They may be dry to the touch, but still take some time to dry fully. I paint really thick at times and that takes a while to cure, meaning years. After a few years of living with my art you should put a finishing coat of protective varnish that will help protect the artwork for years to come.
