Hi Amigas!
We're feeling that bit of coolness in the air too, though afternoons are still pretty hot. I am so looking forward to autumn!!
It has been very quiet around here.
As for Mr. Fiennes, I think he's supposed to start work on a film called
Coronet this autumn and he's probably still doing post-production work on
Coriolanus.
There hasn't been any real news lately other than the release of the new Harry Potter film this autumn. There was supposed to be another upcoming project...
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy based on a story by John LeCarre, but according to some reports online he may have dropped out of that project.
I had some news last week. The company I work for is closing its office in Greenville and all employees will be laid off at the end of the year. I know this sounds awful, but I'm actually very much at peace. It's forcing me to seek something better, which is what I should have done a long time ago but was afraid to. For a little while I'll be able to stay at home and be a full-time artist before I need to worry about income and job-hunting. My family has been really supportive and I'm looking forward to taking a bit of time to recover from what has been ten very stressful years!
I recently submitted my first piece to a juried art show. It was turned down, but so were about half the other entries, all more experienced at all this than me, so I'm not taking the rejection badly. As a matter of fact, an artist friend saw the piece and invited me to hang it and possibly a couple of other pieces in her studio during an arts festival in a couple of weeks. I'll post pictures soon.
I hope everyone is well and blessed and can pay a visit soon! Miss you my friends!! 
Well done Mr. Gervais and Mr. Merchant
