Sure, if the varnish is in good condition. Go over the entire area with fine grit sandpaper and the go over it again with a tack rag to take up the resultant dust. This will provide a surfact to which the paint can adhere. It would be best if you apply a primer first. Some primers are made especailly for this application...

Good luck!
