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 Root of the Righteous Yields Fruit

I Wisdom, The fruit depends upon the root. Inspect the root, see that it is planted in Christ, see to it that it is watered with the rains from heaven, and feed with the manna  that sustains. This will determind what kind of fruit you will bear.
The root of the righteous yeilds fruit

Gallery Tour: This is a textured painting. The door is the same color as the sky, it feels like you can see through the house. The warm New Mexico sky over this adobe roots this painting in a way of life.

Re-stringing Pearls, My Son, We so easily look at what people have or do not have, but it is not that which they possess but what possesses them. The scripture says, "Possess your own soul." Learn to dig into your heart, it has been regenrated by the power of God. You can trust your heart as long as you surrender to the Lord.

You want fruit from your employees, it will come from God. Lean not on your own understanding, trust the Lord and you will bear fruit of righteousness from your people. They will trust you, be loyal to you, work hard for you and watch your back. Isn't that all a boss could ask for?

Words Solomon learned from his mother's knee

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked covet the catch of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit. The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous will come through trouble. A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth and the recompense of a man's hands will be rendered to him.
