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.

Crowning Glory

I Wisdom,  will show you how to be a crown for your husband to wear proudly. Choose my ways, I was in the beginning with the Father, I understand His principles. Follow His principles, you will find life and those around you will also find life. Wickness leads to shame and will bring rottenness in his bones.


Crowning Glory

Gallery Tour: I Wisdom, am your tour guide. I love this painting for the texture, Even though the heaven is dark, it feels like glory is coming down upon the house of a wise woman. This is another one of The Santa Fe Experience Collection.

Re-Stringing Pearls
My Son, Home is everything. This is where you learn, grow up, become yourself. If the mother of the house is wise, she will crown her husband and everyone in the home. If she is not wise, she will bring death to those who inhabit her house. Find a wife who will bring glory to you.

She will be a crowning glory to you, if she receives that which is from heaven. Choose one who walks with God and she will not bring rottenness to your bones.  

Words Solomon learned at the knee of his Mother:

Proverbs 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband. But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
