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.

I Wisdom have much to tell you in selecting a wife. She will keep the cold away from your door and you will be known in the gate. Her strength and honor is her garment. She opens her mouth with wisdom and kindness is on her tongue.

Gallery Tour, Wisdom is your tour guide. This is an impressionist painting with the New Mexico colors. Another one painted with mixed media and palette knife.

Re-Stringing Pearls, My Son, take heed to my words, a woman with honor and strength will be a joy to you. Your heart will rejoice. She opens her mouth and you can trust the words that will come forth, the law of kindness will be on her tongue, not only for you but for your children. Take Heed, a good wife is a good thing.

Words taught to Solomon by his mother:

Proverbs 31: 21,22,23,24,25,26,27 She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and  purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them. And supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness. She waits over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
