Advice on how to best capture images of large format, original oils and three-dimensional, found object artwork in overcast sunlight would be most appreciated here. I have included a sample of my own artwork, captured with a Nikon D3100.

Great picture, I love the theme. The 3100 has captured the details really well..

I think the most important aspect is to avoid perspective distortion, so make sure the artwork is centered and that your lens is pointing straight at it.
