I have no intention of becoming a photographer an I wonder if there is something more compact out there that would allow me to take excellent pictures of my paintings and reference material without the bulk.

You use the word "excellent," not pretty good, not acceptable. If excellence is what you expect of yourself, then you will need excellent equipment.
In my opinion there is a chasm's worth of difference between this camera you have bought (or any other digital SLR) and whatever comes in second place.
If you just want to document a vacation there are plenty of pocket cameras that could do that.
I'm used to traveling with my Nikon. I carry it in a relatively small bag which only has room for some lens cleaner papers, a small vile of cleaning fluid, my battery charger, and a second telephoto lens. For someone not use to it, or for someone who's not as enthusiastic about their photography, it might seem an over kill.
I can't seem to live with the fact that what I want is out there just ahead of me, and I'm not prepared to deal with it in the most excellent way I can.
