FYI I ended up going with this script which suited my needs better for the resizing (ie. filling the entire canvas so no "white space" exists, rather than the resize on the Image Processor Pro which fits the artwork to the canvas on the tallest side and can leave "white space"). If Image Processor Pro ever adds "Fill to Canvas" as an extra option, then I'd go with it, but in the meantime ...
I am sure there are more efficient ways for doing the script, and would like to hear from anyone interested in improving it.
I run the script, which asks for a saved artwork image; then creates 7 x Photoshop documents in common wall art sizes. It names the documents the same as artwork image, with size suffix. Artwork image is resized to fill the canvases, middle centre. Script ends with 7 docs open in Photoshop, because after this script finishes, only if necessary, I manually reposition artwork in each document to ensure artwork looks OK.
FYI ONLY (not part of this script): To save the finished images, I run Photoshop > File > Scripts > Image Processor, then close all Photoshop > File > Close All (check "Apply to All")
