The Story Behind the Work
"Lament: Offering Up Our Brokenness" - fine art print
“Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord; lift up your hands to Him…” — Lamentations 2:19
~
Beneath a weeping sky, hands rise toward a narrow beam of light, cupping fragments of broken pottery. Rain falls like tears, mingling heaven and earth. The vessel, once whole, now lies in pieces — yet still it is lifted. In that gesture of surrender, the broken pottery becomes the language of the soul: our own brokenness offered up to God.
Lament is not the absence of faith but its most honest expression. It is the cry that brings every shard — the sin, the sorrow, the hardened places of the heart — into His presence. In the downpour of lament, something sacred happens: mercy meets our fragments, light pierces the storm, and the One who formed us begins to restore what has been shattered.
In lifting the pieces, we remember — He never turns away the brokenhearted. Even our cracks become places where His glory can shine through.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." — Psalm 51:17
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." — Matthew 5:4

PRINTED TO ORDER - Please allow our local printer to do a fabulous job printing your artwork. Processing time is dependent on the amount of prints on order in production (usually allow around 2 weeks).
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.
For a specific artwork, custom size, framing choice, or care concern, contact Mindi Oaten Art. You can also visit the Frequently Asked Questions or learn about commissioning a custom painting.
