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.

I Wisdom am your strength. I walk with God and you will know strength when you take God into your confidence.  He will give you the lamp to your feet and light to your path.

Gallery Tour: This painting is also part of the Santa Fe Experience Series. It encompasses the whole canvas. It feels tall and strong.

Re-Stringing Pearls: My Son, Strength beside you in a wife, will comfort you at night and will work beside you during the day. She will be generous and lend to the poor thus by giving you treasurers in heaven. You will walk as one, therefore as she prays for you, she will bring blessings upon you. She will be a good wife and you will know goodness all the days of your life.

Words Solomon learned from his mother:

Proverbs 31:17,18,19,20  She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
