The Story Behind the Work
"Victory" - Collectors Club, January 2021
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
“In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:3-5
“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.” 2 Timothy 4: 2-5

When praying for what to paint in the first month of 2021, I heard the word, “Victory!” It’s time to walk victorious. It’s time to walk and not waver in Truth. 2021 will be a year to advance the Word and God’s truth, for in him we are victorious in all circumstances. We must enter the year standing confidently in who we are in Christ, overcomers. Rising above all situations and seeking the Lord for his wisdom and ways.
The Hourglass:
This represents time. We live in earthly time, bound by hours, days, months and yearly cycles. We know the Bible speaks of Jesus returning, but no one knows the day or hour. We must be ready at all times for his glorious return. I know every day we are closer, it sure feels like last year was a wakeup call to what is important… there is no time to waste!
The Holy Bible:
This is our compass of Truth. Everything we need to know is in the Scriptures. Over the past couple years, I’ve been hearing the Lord telling me how important it is to studying and know the Word. A hunger for the Word has grown in my life. As we get closer to the end times, the Word needs to be written on our hearts in order to discern false doctrine. It has to be more about the Bible than books and opinions. It is the only way we will KNOW Jesus and his ways.
The Laurel Wreath:
Laurel leaves symbolize victory! It is a symbol of triumph and were awarded to victors. In Biblical symbolism, the laurel can mean “Flourish,” to grow luxuriantly, to achieve success or prosper, and to reach a height of development or influence. Although we see the wicked succeed and achieve everything their hearts desire, God promises that the righteous will flourish (Psalm 92:12) and God will not forsake his faithful ones. God’s idea of flourishing isn’t always in material things and successes of this world, we flourish in our faith and knowledge of Him, living victoriously in our salvation through Christ. There is nothing more rewarding than that! Walking in relationship with Jesus, we flourish in the garden of life. We see from a heavenly perspective and glorify him in all that we do.
The Background:
I chose to paint a landscape as the background. God’s creation and the dawning of a new day! The promised land he has for each one of us on the horizon. The sun rising.
I am excited to see what this year will bring! An incredible time to be alive and be part of God’s plans in the earth. We are watching history be written right before our eyes. Walk in VICTORY and stand on the Truth of his Word, I pray this painting blesses you and is an encouragement of the victory we already have! Walk into 2021 with the authority you’ve been given through Christ Jesus. He goes before you to fight and gives you victory.

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.
