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.

Northern New Mexico

I Wisdom,  am a voice for those who can not speak. Be careful the words you speak for others. Their life is in your hands.

Gallery Tour: This series of paintings are of Northern New Mexico. They have pitched roofs. They are distinctive in themselves. The smoke opens the sky and brings the third dimension of background.

Re-Stringing Pearls: When you pick a wife, it is more than finding one who makes you happy. She will be wise and make right choices so that you feel safe. She will be a virtuous women, she will do you good. You will go to work and know she is taking care of your heart and your home with great care.

Words Solomon heard at the feet of his mother:

Proverbs 31:8,9,10,11,12 " Open my our mouth for the speechless. In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and no evil all the days of her life."
