They Look nice. Is it the flash that they look so glossy ?

Yes I think that's the problem. They have had a good coat of matte varnish.but ever since I started using cheaper varnish, my pictures turn up glossy.

I find taking taking pictures without flash gets rid of the shine. Do turn on every other light available, and sunlight doesn't hurt either.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Yes there's where the problem lies here. Not much light comng in (no windows where I paint) so always need a flash.

Nice work on these. I can never get the light exactly as I would like it when taking photos of mine either.
