Allan,

You really cannot shoot a painting, especially a coarse grained one without a polarizing lens as far as I know. I had mine originally shot by a professional with the new Nikon-Kodak 14000 pixel camera, no polarizer, result lots of grain and glare, great color. He thought it would work. Make sure your new Nikon takes a polarizer.

I re-shot my billboard (55"x 70") of a painting in my studio, facing large picture windows. Shooting outside in the shade would be the same. I tilted my painting down a bit as well. But what made the difference, besides the polarizing lens was the black velvet reducing any bounced light.

You can get bounce off cement, grass or even shiny asphalt.
My light beige studio rug was bouncing back glare.
