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.

Morning Dew

I Wisdom, will only speak to the wise, only the wise will hear. The evil ones will rebuke wise words and the scoffer will scoff at them.If you correct a scoffer, he will hate you, but rebuke a wise man, and he will increase in learning. The burden is on them, not on you. You must be wise to know when to use wise words.


Morning Dew


Gallery Tour: My name is Wisdom, I am your Tour Guide. This painting is an oil painting and loose in its rendering. Morning Dew comes to the earth, some will embrace it, some will condemn it. This painting has brush strokes and also worked with a palette knife to show the rugged-ness of this mountain. 

Re-Stringing Pearls for My Son!

Be willing to be corrected. The wise man will love correction, the foolish one will hate instruction. 

In leading your team, you will learn quickly, if you correct a scoffer, he will bring shame to himself, if you rebuke a wicked man, he only harms himself. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is the first step and only step to wisdom. It is essential for leadership. For yourself and also for your team.

Words of Solomon learned at his mother's knee
Proverbs 9:7-12 He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, and he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himselfl Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wise; teach a just man and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knolwledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it along.
