The Story Behind the Work
Shop Let the Little Children Come as a fine art canvas print or ready-to-hang stretched canvas. Each piece is printed to order by Mindi Oaten Art.
Inspired by Matthew 19:14, Let the Little Children Come reflects the tenderness of Jesus as He welcomes children freely into His presence.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
With tender compassion and a heart full of boundless warmth, Jesus extended his arms to the little ones, inviting them into his radiant presence.
As the gentle shepherd of souls, he welcomed the trust, humility, and openness so vividly reflected in children, a picture of the childlike heart He calls us to embrace. In that sacred moment, the cares and complexities of adulthood melted away, leaving only the radiant light of youthful wonder and unbridled joy.
With each child who approached, Jesus shared not only his presence but also a profound lesson for all of humanity. He imparted a truth so deep and universal: "Unless you become like these little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
In those simple yet weighty words, Jesus revealed a deep spiritual insight that transcends time and place. He reminded us that it is in our childlike qualities – qualities of trust, humility, and unending curiosity – that we find our pathway. Just as children approach life with open hearts, unburdened by the weight of past regrets or future anxieties, so too should we approach our spiritual journey knowing Jesus has our hand.
This invitation is an eternal reminder that, regardless of our age or station in life, we should endeavor to embrace the purity of heart, the boundless wonder, and the unshakable faith of children. It is a call to shed the burdens of ego, pride, and skepticism and instead to be like little children, basking in the light of God's love with a trust that transcends doubt.

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.
