How can I get the image url in a Wordpress theme?

get_template_directory_uri();

This function will help you retrieve theme directory URI, and can be used with your images, your example below:

<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/mindset.jpg" />

I had to use Stylesheet directory to work for me.

<img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/images/image.png">

src="<?php echo base_url()?>your_theme_dir/image_dir/img.ext"

As well

src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/image_dir/img.ext"

You need to use

 <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>

It returns the directory of the current WordPress theme.

Now for example, if your theme has some image named example.jpg inside some folder name subfolder folder in the images folder.

 themes
   |-> your theme
          |-> images
                |->subfolder
                      |-> examples.jpg

You access it like this

 <img class="article-image" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?> /images/subfolder/example.jpg" border="0" alt="">
