Glare Solvers
I have tried polarizers - didn't work well for me. I still got lots of glare.
I learned that if I bounce my lights off my ceiling and use lots of lights (continuous lights - tungsten, with tungsten slide film - Kodak Ektachrome 64T), I get good results. But it only works well for me in one room in my house that has a ceiling with a high slope - I tried it in a standard 8 foot ceiling room with poorer results. I also have light colored walls and floors, which helps bounce the light around some. For a large painting, my concern would be lighting the artwork evenly. If the art were a vertical piece, I would lay it on its side to get evener coverage.
Others have mentioned shooting their works under skylights.
I have also paid a professional to use his digital camera to take photos to put on a CD. He had an 11 pixel Canon, forget what make. He took them in his studio, but I don't know what he used as far as lighting. They came out fine.
