The Story Behind the Work
Shop Follow Me as a fine art canvas print or ready-to-hang stretched canvas. Each piece is printed to order by Mindi Oaten Art.
Inspired by Mark 1:16–18, Follow Me reflects the moment Jesus calls Simon and Andrew from their nets into a life of discipleship.
"Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him." Mark 1: 16-18
Amidst the ordinary, a moment of extraordinary revelation unfolds. On the canvas, Jesus stands resolute, an embodiment of divine majesty and grace. His gaze, deep and unwavering, beckons the disciples with an invitation that's life-altering. Cloaked in radiant robes that seem to shimmer with a heavenly glow, the King of Kings extends a hand, not in command, but in gentle invitation.
Painted are the symbols of a fisherman's life – nets, boats, and the vast expanse of the sea. These tools, once central to their livelihood, now pale in significance to the grand adventure that awaits. With the words, "Follow Me," He isn't just inviting them to walk beside Him, but to embark on a transformative journey – to trade the temporal for the eternal, to become fishers of men, drawing souls into the kingdom.
The backdrop, awash with hues of dawn, suggests the beginning of a new era. The serene waters reflect the sky's promise, hinting at the adventures, challenges, and victories that lie ahead. The disciples, at this pivotal moment, stand on the cusp of destiny, poised to transition from their familiar shores to uncharted territories.
Yet, in this divine summons, there's more than just a call to service. It's a mandate to represent the Kingdom of Heaven, to become ambassadors of love, hope, and redemption in a world yearning for the Light. Little did they know the magnitude of the mission they were about to undertake, the lives they would touch, and the legacy they would leave behind. This portrayal isn't just a mere retelling of a biblical event but a vivid reminder of the timeless need of Jesus' message. As the disciples heeded the call, so are we, across ages and cultures, beckoned to follow Him, to transform, and to be a beacon of His eternal love in the world.

Mindi’s fine art canvas prints are reproductions of her original paintings printed on artist-quality canvas. Sizes vary by artwork, from smaller pieces to larger statement sizes. Unless the product option specifically says Stretched Canvas Print, canvas prints are shipped unstretched.
Unstretched canvas prints can be framed, mounted, or professionally stretched by your local framer. Because each artwork has its own proportions, available sizes vary; order from the size and format shown on the individual product page.
Need help choosing a size or format? Contact Mindi Oaten Art or visit the Frequently Asked Questions.
A Stretched Canvas Print is a fine art canvas print stretched over an internal support frame, creating a ready-to-display presentation without first visiting a framer. It can be hung as-is or placed inside a decorative outer frame.
Stretched canvas sizes vary by artwork. If the size you need is not listed, contact the studio to ask whether a custom stretched size is available.
Mindi Oaten Art may be able to create an approved custom fine art canvas print in a size not listed on the product page. Custom print orders are quoted individually based on the artwork, final dimensions, proportions, and finishing requirements.
Custom sizes must respect the proportions of the original painting, and some dimensions may require cropping. The studio will confirm what works visually before the order is finalized.
For a custom print size, contact Mindi Oaten Art. For an entirely new original artwork, visit the Custom Painting & Commission page. You can also review the FAQ.
Displaying: keep artwork indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture, smoke, and rapid temperature changes.
Handling: use clean, dry hands and hold prints or originals by the edges whenever possible. Support larger pieces evenly with two hands.
Cleaning: use only a soft, dry cloth or clean artist’s brush. Do not apply water, glass cleaner, oils, sprays, or household cleaners directly to printed or painted surfaces.
Framing: archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing are recommended for works on paper and can also help protect fine art prints. Canvas works should be framed or stretched appropriately for the specific piece.
