The Story Behind the Work
“Lotus Flower” | Job
Original 6" × 6" acrylic on canvas, Prayer Seed No. 18
Resilience
Representing the Book of Job, the lotus rises from muddy waters, blooming where beauty seems unlikely to be found. In the same way, Job reminds us that faith can endure even through the deepest suffering.
Overwhelmed by loss and sorrow, Job continued to seek God through his questions and grief. Even in the midst of what he could not understand, he held to the hope that his Redeemer lived. His story reminds us that faith does not require us to understand everything, but invites us to keep reaching for God through it all.
May this little bloom remind you that resilience is not the absence of sorrow, but the courage to keep seeking God when life feels broken.
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.
