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.

Chosen

I Wisdom, have been from the beginning. I was there when the earth was founded and by understanding the heavens were established. I go from beginning to end, and I know everything in between.

Lean on me, trust in what I have to say, I have chosen you, you must chose me


Chosen

Gallery Tour: I Wisdom will be your tour guide. This painting was painted for the Western Bank of Albuquerque, New Mexico with Christmas Cards also. This was inspired by Mary, and the Magnificat. Mary's words were "Be it unto me, according to Your will". Her song spans from the wonderment of why she was chosen, to recognizing her own personal salvation and the salvation for her people; the reversal of the power of her enemy, and her exaltation and praise for her Mighty God.

Re-Stringing Pearls of Wisdom

My Dear Son, You have been chosen, God has put a new song within you. It is not a song that the world sings, but it is a song that His chosen will sing.

We each have a song within, a song we listen to. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We would continue to hear it, but we get in the way. This song is aristocratic and will not associate itself with the commonplace, and we fall back and become our ordinary selves again.

This song will be the pinnacles of your experience and will motivate the masters of all arts. You have been chosen to lead many people. They will be extra ordinary like yourself when you sing your song, otherwise they will remain ordinary. But it is your choice, to chose the song the angels sing or sing the song the world sings.

Words from Solomon learned from his mother's knee
Proverbs 3:19, 20: The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; By His knowledge the depths were broken up, and clouds drop down the dew.
