Mernie Brown (seen on the left with her son and a portrait she painted of him) is a daughter of the founder of The Schenectady Rose Garden, Col. Charles D. Brown. This evening, Friday July 18, 2025, Mernie filled the award-winning Garden with beautiful paintings, in Gallery 5 Schenectady‘s first outdoor pop-up art showcase. Her artistry and personality brought a special glow to an always special space and appreciative visitors.
Even with many roses past-peak, the art-filled Garden was lovely and the weather perfect. Here are a few more scenes from a special evening. [click on a mosaic tile for a larger image]
