I am looking into the softboxes too. I see flash diffuser sets, this is probably not difussed enough for larger paintings?

Me personally I'd use "hotlights" for this (and BIG softboxes).  Six foot minimum.  Fill them with the aforementioned CFLs.

You want to make sure you have even illumination on objects that big.  Not just corner to corner, but also edges to center (inverse square law).
