so i painted this canvas with oil paints and i want to hang it over my stove but the thing is i know, even if it isnt that often, food will most definately splash on it, so does anyone know of like a protective seal i could paint over it or spray to where i could just wipe off the food? or even a creative idea for some sort of cover would be good too =)
thanks so much

You can wait to varnish it or you could use a clear coat spray right away. Clear Coats (the most popular brand is Krylon) are clear acrylic based clear spray paints that dry instantly. I would recommend you apply several extra clear coats if you intend to wash the painting often. And when you do wash it never clean it with any kind of detergent cleaner. A warm wet fine thread washcloth wetted with normal tap water will do just fine. Detergents or cleaning chemicals will dull or damage the coating.

Personally, I would not hang a piece of artwork of any kind, by any artist of any motif over a stove, and especially not over a stove where I was cooking food.
I do not know you, and I have never seen examples of you work, but I can tell you that if I owned this particular piece to which you are referring, I would not hang it over a stove. Take more pride in your work than that....Please.
Oil paintings are generally just framed and do not actually need to have any type of sealant put over them.....Keep on painting and good luck to you...and God bless

a modern-artist oil varnish could work, but u need to wait 6-12 months before applying it. applying it before will result in the paint cracking.
maybe you can just hang it else where?
