As a rule,
I think people only care if you are making a profit from using their work. The worst you could get is an email asking you to remove it.
I guess if you are selling the painting then it's only fair to contact the photographer to offer them a fair share.
That said, people usually like an email to say their work is appreciated, so contacting the photographer is probably the best approach. And give them a link to their website.
