Former Math Teacher Charles Paine's
Paintings For Sale

Charles Paine, now deceased, taught math and was a counselor at Sequoia for over 25 years. At the same time, he pursued a professional painting career. He had one-man shows at San Francisco's California Palace of the Legion of Honor, Stanford Art Gallery, Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento, Ampex Gallery, and other venues. His paintings are also found in Japan and various European countries. Charles sold for many years through the Coastal Gallery in Half Moon Bay. He developed a unique painting style--watercolor painted on wet paper.

Some of his original, signed paintings for sale are shown here. They may be purchased online, through PayPal and picked up at the August 20 Alumni Picnic, or if need be, shipped to the buyer at additional cost. Five framed pictures will be sold at a Silent Auction at the picnic--starting bids will be $300. (Paine's paintings previously sold for $600-$1000.) Bids for unframed paintings begin at $100.

At Paine's request, proceeds from the sale are to be shared with Sequoia's Mathematic Scholarship Fund, the Art Department , and with the Sequoia Alumni Association.
