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.

Adobe

I Wisdom, do not honor a lazy wife, she will bring you to ruin. A wife will compliment you, she will come along side to work with you.  

Gallery Tour: This is a mixed media and the palette knife adds texture to this adobe which is backed up against the  New Mexico mountains.

Re-Stringing Pearls: My Son, Pray for the wife of God's choosing. He has groomed you to be a leader. A godly wife will come along side and compliment your purpose. She will take up the slack and she will have the confidence to go outside of her boundaries to bring food for afar. I would like to think that the food that Solomon talks about is the heavenly food from afar and is made available to anyone who will ask for it. God says, if anyone lacks wisdom, ask of Him. A praying a wife is absolutely necessary for a complete home. 


Words Solomon's mother taught him at her knee.

Proverbs 31:13,14,15,16 " She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it from her profits she plants vineyard."
