Photography and painting are not related as far as portraying visual images. You might also ask the question, "If there are movies why do plays still exist?" Painting is an artistic expression. There are paintings that are not based on reality, like the works of Picasso & Pollock. A camera can also be used as an artistic expression, too, if special care is taken to lighting and exposure.

There are many other reasons to paint. For one, a camera makes a picture of only what is there, but with a painting you can use your own creativity and artistic license.
