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.

High Mesa 2

I Wisdom am the fear of the Lord and will prolong days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.  The wicked will perish. How many ways can the Lord say it?The wicked will not inhabit the earth.
High Mesa 2

Gallery Tour This is the second in a series painted for Classic Ramada in Albuquerque, NM. This one has mosiac tile embedded into the acrylic. The mosiac gives an illusion of buildings and a town. It is painted on a 3X4 foot masonite board.

Re-Stringing Pearls My Son, There is something about long days shortened. The wicked will perished and their days will be shortened, and it says they will not inhabit the earth but their perverse tongue will be cut out. I truly believe God's holiness has the final word on each and everyone of us. He only allows the  wicked to go so far, just far enough that His will is done.

Love righteousness. The righteous will never  be removed, and the mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom.

Words learned from the knee of Solomon's mother

Proverbs 10:26-32  As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy man to those who send him. The fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.  The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the righteous brings for wisdom, but the preverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
