The Story Behind the Work
“Daisy & Cornflower” | Ruth
Original 6" × 6" acrylic on canvas, Prayer Seed No. 8
Loyalty
Representing the Book of Ruth, the daisy speaks of loyal love, while the cornflower, also known as Bachelor’s Button, offers a quiet nod to Boaz and the love that awaited Ruth in Bethlehem.
Ruth’s devotion to Naomi carried her through loss and uncertainty into a story of redemption she could not yet see. In the fields of Bethlehem, God brought Ruth and Boaz together, weaving her faithfulness into a family line that would lead to King David and, generations later, Jesus Christ.
May these little blooms remind you that steadfast love, faithfully lived, can become part of a story far greater than we can see.
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.
