Pillars of Charity. House of the Temple. Scottish Rite, SJ. Supreme Council, 33°. Portraits by Travis Simpkins

The Pillars of Charity at the House of the Temple recognizes the generosity of those who have donated $1,000,000 or more (either all at once or planned over a longer period). Among the benefits for those donors is an oil portrait, to be displayed at the House of the Temple. I painted the two most recent portraits, in 2019 and 2021.

If you don't have an extra million dollars, there are plenty of other helpful ways to support the House of the Temple. One of the easiest is to just click the "round up" option during check out in their online store when purchasing Scottish Rite books or other merchandise.

Travis Simpkins Paints Portrait for the House of the Temple. Supreme Council, 33°, SJ. Scottish Rite

I was once again commissioned by the Supreme Council, 33°, SJ to paint the latest portrait for the collection at the House of the Temple in Washington, DC.

This oil portrait will soon be placed in the "Pillars of Charity" hallway, near the tombs of Past Sovereign Grand Commanders Albert Pike and John Henry Cowles. It is both an honor and a pleasure to be invited back to work on this project for my friends in the Southern Jurisdiction. I also painted the previous portrait addition back in 2019. I look forward to visiting in-person again and seeing the paintings on display there in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future.
