This collection features watercolors of culinary creations, inspired by many meals, quick snacks, and feasts around the table with friends. Through and around food, we experiment, we mark seasons, we celebrate, we talk, and we eat. The focus on meals, not mere food, changes the attitude of a home from a place to a gathering. We have been given such variety, glory, and joy in the diversity of potential recipes. Putting creativity into our cooking shows our loving attention to those who are around it—just as Christ does in welcoming us to sup with Him. We are nourished in body and in soul.

The Supper of the Lamb is in part a tribute to one of my most cherished books, from which the collection’s namesake comes. May every bite and every painting be a taste—a reminder—of the final feast to come.
