Portrait of M.W. Roger Quintana by Travis Simpkins on Display at the Grand Lodge of New Jersey

Moises Gomez with the portrait of Roger Quintana by Travis Simpkins at the Grand Lodge of New Jersey


     Thanks to R.W. Moises Gomez for visiting my Grand Master oil portrait of M.W. Roger B. Quintana at the Grand Lodge of New Jersey.
     I'm currently working on a 2nd version of this painting to be displayed elsewhere in NJ. That will be my third portrait of M.W. Quintana. Between drawing and painting, I've had one portrait or another of him on my drafting table and easel for most of this year. When my wife met Roger for the first time in New Jersey, she commented that she felt like she already knew him because she saw his face every day in my studio.

Grand Lodge of New Jersey. Society of King Solomon. M.W. Roger Quintana and Mohamad Yatim


     The Grand Lodge of New Jersey, under the direction of Grand Master M.W. Roger B. Quintana, is instituting a new Masonic Education program titled "Society of King Solomon." The program is administered by R.W. Mohamad A. Yatim, who holds the newly-created office of Grand Education Officer. It is offered free of charge to members within the New Jersey Grand Jurisdiction. The program consists of four parts. Part 1: Symbolic Masonry, Part 2: Masonic Protocol, Part 3: Constitution and Law, Part 4: Research and Reflection. The GL of NJ deserves to be applauded for it's dedication to education with this challenging new initiative.
