McMenamins Part 2

And here's some random pictures of them any I took of all the paintings in the hallways:



This was almost directly across from our room. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a specific person or not, but I think it's fun, because it's about Pacific University, and it even has a pair of eye glasses painted into the detail above it. (A lot of the paintings have something to do with the picture painted on the wall around it, which is cool.) The man is holding a Boxer, which is Pacific's mascot.


Just some more cool pipes. They're everywhere!


The detail around this picture is beautiful!


Here's another Pacific University one, because of the blind pig and the Boxer. You can read the caption underneath if you blow up the picture by clicking on it.


This is actually a carving, not a drawing or painting. They have a couple of these throughout the building, and they are amazing.


This is of our dear Walker Brothers. It was painted by Lyle Hehn who, "created this bizarre scene of the Walker Brothers Old-Time Orchestra amidst floodwaters in the Masonic Home attic." The Walking Tour packet describes this painting as "off-center inspiration."


This is a mosaic you see going up the ramp to the Compass Room. I can't find the description anywhere in the Walking Tour pamphlet, and I wish i knew what it was all about.
