[OM] Copying Art - need help quick

My lovely and talented wife (and artist of some local and regional
acclaim) has been asked to submit slides of several pieces (1
painting, 1 tapestry, one mixed media) for anational juried show, and
has asked me to the pictures. Unfortunately, I only have 10 days to:

1) figure out how to shoot them (my shooting is primarily landscape,
sports, and news)

2) Acquire any extra equipment necessary (I'm 100 miles from the
nearest shop that would even consider a rental)

3) Shoot the art

4) Get the art developed (at the prolab 100miles away - at least 3
days for turnaround from here)

5) Pick the final slidesand ship them to the museum.

I need suggestions on the following: 

1) Film: I am inclined to shoot the art with Provia 100 and a
saturated film, either Velvia or E100VS. I also keep a supply of
E100SW on hand. 

2) Lens: I would imagine my 50/1.8 would be the best lens to use, but
I also have the 21, 24, 28, 100, 135, and 180/2.8 lenses (and a
50/1.4) to choose from. 

3) Lighting: Since I can't simply order up an overcast day on
command, I'll probably have to make do with what I have: a Sunpack
433D and an old yellowed Vivitar 283. I haven't shot any color with
the 283 and would be worried about the yellowedlns on it. I don't
have any remote cords,controllers, etc.

4) Backdrop: I don't have one, although I do have a nice white wall
and clean beige carpeting available. I intend to compose with
aslittle backdrop showing as possible. 

Thanks in Advance,

BBB
