Sure fire way of photographing oil paintings
For slides on a SLR camera I use Kodak Ektachrome 64T tungsten reversal film. Each work needs it's own settings but you can always take a series at different shutter speeds and F-stops. Generaly F-4 at 100th sec. Place your oil painting straight and flat on a wall. Across from it where the camera is, use a good sized black non reflective material. Use two large pot floods with 500 watt, 3200k bulbs for tungsten light, aim these on level to the centre of the work and each at 45 degrees to it, into the centre. You are aiming at even lighting over the whole work. If you have and know how to use a light meter this is the time. Protect the black cloth from recieving any light directed upon it with some kind of shields. Set up your camera and see if you need to bring the lights closer or further away. Take many shots with different settings. You should get very, very good results with no glare (unless you use a technique with lots of thick texture). If your colour is out a bit you could look into a filter or scan the results and use an image editor. Or even buy a digital camera...
