Jeanine,

You have done a lovely job on this painting, and there is nothing to be nervous about.

If you will varnish before the unveiling, why don't you consider GamVar? The painting only needs to be dry to the feel, and it doesn't look like lots of impasto) and it will provide a final varnish and, I think, look nicer then retouch. My experience (yes, the desert is REALLY dry) is that the GamVar is dry in about 4 days max.
