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.

Las Ninas

I wisdom, will lead you like a child. I will teach you to hear with your heartis saying. You need to learn in simple faith. Then you will love the things of the Lord. It must come with a childlike faith.
Las Ninas

Galler Tour: This is a favorite painting for many. The print of this painting is on the Princess Cruise Line with five other prints. Las Ninas, means little children. The littliest girl is carrying a candle, representing the light, and they are looking at the lamb. In the Psalms, David says the little ones will lead them. This painting symoblizes that truth.

Re-Stringing Pearls!

My Son, you must come like a little child,  In that child-like faith you will find what you have been looking for. It is better than gold, yes, than fine gold. Wisdom will give you riches and honor, and you will have enduring riches of righteousness. Wisdom traverses the way of righteousness and in the midst of the paths is justice.

This is a quality you must teach your followers as you lead them in the business world. It is not in the gaining of wealth that will satisfy, but gaining righteousness in child-like faith, Out of it you will inherit wealth and your treasuries will be filled.


Words Solomon learned at his Mother's knee:

Proverbs 8:18-21 "I, wisdom, dwell with you... Riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.. I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice. That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth. That I may fill their treasuries.
