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.

The House of the Righteous will Stand

I Wisdom, a man is seen by the way he treats his things. Whether it is his home, his animals or his servants. Submit yourself to Wisdom and learn how to respect others and things you possess.
The House of the Righteous will Stand

Gallery Tour: Another painting in the Santa Fe Experience Collection. This is done with a palette knife, it is the texture, color  and the roughedness that speaks in this colloection. These adbodes seemingly rise out of the dirt of the earth. It is made of its own kind, "Earth".

Re-stringing Pearls, My Son - It is not how big your house is, how modern, how impressive, but it is the heart of the house that will speak to others.  It is the people in the house that makes the house. If your heart is right with God, your house will stand. That can mean where you live or who you are.

The way you regard animals speaks volumns about you. You are so kind and caring and generous to the animals you have been given. You are also kind to tose who are under you and you have brought out the best in them.

You are hard on them, maybe it is because you expect so much from yourself and thereby expects so much from others.

Words Solomon learned from his mother's knee.

Proverbs 12:7-11, The wicked are overthrown and are not more, but the house of the righteous will stand. A man will be commended according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised. Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant, than he who honors himself but lacks bread. A righteous man regard the life of his animal. But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, but he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.
