From technical point of view lighting you used here distorted painting but i like this version better than the 'cleaner' one, with too bright top and too dark bottom the center became accentuated and thus the whole painting produces greater impact imo, but that's very subjectively of course

nn,, I think it's really true... when taking photo of an artwork, lighting is really important~  it can really change the energy/atmosphere/expression of a painting!

Soft daylight is good for photographing artwork~  it creates the most balanced, neutral, clean atmosphere for a painting

Light from a desk-lamp gives more direct contrast~  depending on the light-bulb type, it can change the colour and add more shadows, which can create an interesting effect, but it can also create distraction for our eye if the light is too harsh/strong

Both methods can be useful, but usually, soft daylight (like sunlight reflected on a wall) is the best result!

I like the way the light falls across your painting. It adds a sense of depth, solidity and life to the piece and reminds me of a hastily taken art gallery photograph when the staff’s back are turned. Nice work.

The ultimate solution is to use a scanner. Much cheaper than a PRO camera, and for FLAT (that's why I rarely use it ) paintings of A4 size it gives nearly a perfect result.

For photo I highly recommend to use a soft light. Do not use a direct light from a lamp. Instead of it, use a reflected light from a white paper. More lamps more paper!

There are a professional solutions called "soft light box". So the white board\paper is a cheep alternative
