The Story Behind the Work
Part of Mindi Oaten’s 66-book Bible Art collection. Song of Songs | The Author of Love is Mindi’s Scripture-inspired visual reflection on this book of the Bible.
No other book of the Bible is so thick with simile, metaphor and other artful images in language. It’s poetic love language drips off the painting. I wanted to show its most central imagery of emotion, a love story. We see Christ as the author of love, a love story with his bride, the Church.
Originally painted in acrylic on canvas.
Paper print: printed on heavyweight matte fine art paper, un-matted and unframed.
Canvas print: printed on fine art quality canvas, unstretched and unframed.
Stretched canvas: finished on a 1.25-inch wood frame, coated for UV protection, wired and ready to hang.
Printed to order: Please allow our local printer to do a fabulous job printing your artwork. Processing time depends on the amount of prints 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.

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.
