They Call Her Blessed!


Enjoy the e-gallery of Betty Slade and her paintings of the "Women of the Wind Series". This collection of paintings are the impressionist Southwest women seen through the eyes of Proverbs. Also there will be added southwest landscapes and adobes.

Dedicated to My Son Stephen,
A Leader of men, a server of tables, and full of the Holy Spirit. My charge to you is that you lead with wisdom, serve with kindness and walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Then you will complete your name, Stephenos, a crowning glory.

My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother -- for they will be an ornament of grace on your head, and chains about your neck.

Proverbs 1:8,9

Many of the Proverbs and Wisdom have been written in the female voice. This is wisdom that King Solomon acquired sitting at the feet of his mother. Her endearing name for him was King Lemuel, and the utterance which his mother taught him is found in the Proverbs thirty-one Woman.

Lemuel means devoted to God. So is this group of paintings with words from the King and defined in the heart of the artist, Betty Slade

He concludes his proverbs with the portrait of the Proverbs thirty-one Woman. He recognizes the attributes of a godly woman; her beauty can not be compared but excels beyond the many daughters who have done well, and her husband and her children will call her blessed.

Re-Stringing pearls of Wisdom

My Son,  Love wisdom, you will find in it the ability to love. True wisdom comes from above. It is one of God's attributes and when you seek one you will receive all. As you surrender to Him, you will learn to trust Him, and you will understand how to be loved by Him. But you must want and love wisdom, in it she will promote you and will bring honor to you. You will wear a crown of grace upon your head. Your name is Stephen, Stephenos is the greek means crown. Truly, you are a crowning glory to me. Seek wisdom, you will find a crown of authority, rule in love. Leadership means servantship.

Words from Solomon as he sat at his Mother's knee

Proverbs 4:5,6,7,8,9
Get wisdom!
Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom and all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you. She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.
