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.

The Searcher

I, Wisdom, will direct your paths. But you must allow me to do so. You can not lean on your own understanding, or be wise in your own eyes, it will blind you, you will not be able to see where you are going.


The Searcher

Gallery Tour: I Wisdom, am your tour guide. This painting was painted for the YWCA of Albuquerque. It was used as a poster for one of their fund raising events. The fringe on her robe leads the eye to the head. It has a nice rhythm about it. There is a soft S design, the top and the bottom connects with the fringe.

Re-Stringing Pearls of Wisdom!

My Son, this is one of the key verses in Proverbs. When you trust in our own understanding, it is the very thing that will trip you up. You can not see the whole of something, you only know in part which distorts your vision. In order to reach beyond yourself you  must trust in the One who hides the gold and buries the silver. By leaning on Him, you will find the very thing you need to lead your company, build up your employees and fine your own treasure.

There is much treasure hidden deep within you. It will only be assayed as you trust in the Lord. He will bring you to your full potential.


Words of Solomon learned at the knee of his Mother:

Proverbs 3:5,6,7, - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.
