That is a good idea, Michele, thanks! I believe most of the dust (or rather, dog's hairs and little hairs from wooly sweaters) gets there while the varnish is still very runny and the painting has to lie on its back. But after the varnish has settled a little, tilting the painting face down will be a good help so I can keep the painting in a heated room as the varnish dries completely. How silly that I never thought of it.
