The Story Behind the Work
“Aster” | James
Original 6" × 6" acrylic on canvas, Prayer Seed No. 59
Perseverance
The aster symbolizes patience and perseverance, reflecting the steadfast faith James calls us to have through life's trials.
James reminds us that trials can produce perseverance, shaping and maturing our faith as we continue to trust God. Like a flower that remains standing through changing seasons, steadfast faith grows stronger as it is tested, leading us toward the crown of life God has promised to those who love Him.
May this flower remind you to remain steadfast through every trial, trusting that God is at work even in the testing of your faith.
A Prayer Seed from the Garden of the Word
This original painting is one of sixty-six Prayer Seed paintings, each prayerfully created alongside my Bible Art Collection.
As I painted through Scripture, these flowers and symbols quietly began to bloom, becoming a garden of their own. Each one carries the heart of a book of the Bible, inviting you to slow down, open God’s Word, and spend time with Him in prayer.
This Prayer Seed has been lovingly prepared as a collector’s keepsake and includes:
• Original 6" × 6" acrylic painting
• Beautiful floating frame, ready to display
• 5" × 7" archival print of the corresponding Bible painting
• Flower identification card
• Artist’s Garden of Prayer letter
• Prayer bookmark
This collection is only the beginning.
Each Prayer Seed planted is helping cultivate my next body of work, The Golden Bowls of Prayer, a collection inspired by Revelation and the image of the prayers of the saints rising like incense before the throne of God.
By receiving one of these seeds, you become a small part of what is growing next.
My prayer is that it draws you back to prayer in your home.
Original paintings on canvas are one-of-a-kind works created by Mindi. Many are acrylic on canvas; the exact medium and dimensions are listed on each product page. Purchasing an original means purchasing the physical original artwork, not a reproduction.
Display original canvas paintings indoors in a stable environment, away from prolonged direct sunlight, fireplaces, heating vents, bathrooms, and major humidity or temperature changes. Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth or artist’s brush; never use water, sprays, solvents, or household cleaners on the painted surface.
Framing varies by piece. Some paintings can be displayed unframed, while others may suit a floating or traditional frame. Unless the listing says otherwise, framing is not included. Browse available Original Paintings or contact the studio with a framing or care question.
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.
