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.

Honor at Home

I Wisdom, a gracious woman retains honor, she will teach her children to honor her but also honor themselves by making right choices. He who sows righteousness will have a sure reward and righteousness leads to life.   



Gallery Tour - This body of works hangs in the Santa Fe Fine Art Brokeage in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The bright colors, the southwest theme and texture makes this painting what people are looking for when shopping in Santa Fe.  It is a mixed media, on 300# paper in oils.

Re-Stringing Pearls of Wisdom, My Son, honor yourself by making wise decisions. Do not pursue evil, it will only bring death. Look to God, and delight yourself in Him,

Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished. If your heart is right, do not be afraid of men. even though they stand  hand in hand, bringing accusations against you, they will not go unpunished.

Words Solomon learned from his mother's knee

Proverbs 11:16-21

A gracious woman retains honor, but ruthless men retain riches. The merciful man does good for his own soul. But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. The wicked man does deceptive work, but he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. As righteousness leads to life, so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. Those who are a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord. But the blameless is their ways are His delight, though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
