Hi Pat,
I was just reflecting on what Marvin and Michele had to say, and a thought occurred to me. You might try taking the shot from a greater distance to minimize the distortion due to the optics of the camera. Then zoom in to the portion of the image you want with a digital zoom. I don't have any experience with digital cameras, but I notice that they usually specify a digital zoom and an optical zoom. The distortions are all produced in the optics. With any luck, you should be able to find a combination of "distance from the subject" and "digital zoom" that will allow you minimize the optical distortion, but will still leave you enough resolution to get a satisfactory shot to use for your painting.
Just a thought, but it might be worth doing a little experimenting.
Regards
John
