Natalie Erwin at Beretta

Who said hunting and drinks don’t mix? Beretta Gallery is hosting a cocktail reception Thursday, May 15, for Dallas artist Natalie Erwin’s latest works, including custom hunting dog portraits, and I predict it will be a successful outing. Her unique look, created on wood-burned birch panels with wax and stained colors, have caught the eye of many, including mine, at the Nest Gallery. Meet the artist and order one of these puppies for Father’s Day. 41 Highland Park Village. 6-8 p.m.
