Here is my high-tech, glamorous solution to the problem of photographing paintings with my digital camera: on a table easel in the bathtub under a skylight. Certain times of the day are better than others, but I think I usually get color results remarkably close to the painting.
I don't actually paint in the bathroom. I hope I'm not confusing people with this photo!

You don't paint IN the bathtub? What better way to get your feet wet when starting a new painting?

Hi Linda,
I must say, I did think it a little strange that day I saw you and Chris run off to the bathroom together with camera in hand. But then once I saw your setup, it all made sense. 
Your paintings just keep getting better and better. This certainly isn't a typical portrait background, but helps make this lovely portrait even more interesting and unique.

This is the painting which will receive a Merit Award at the PSOA in May. I've since retitled it to "Claire at Eighteen". Thanks again to all you nice artists who said kind things about it, your encouragement means a lot to me.
And by the way I'm finally remembering to post a closeup of the hands:
