I've continued experimenting with relief or block printing. This one involved carefully carving an image on linoleum mounted on a board, applying just the right amount of ink to the carving and then printing it by adroitly pressing a light piece of paper onto the block of linoleum. The process takes a fair amount of time and the results are not always guaranteed. But each printed image - with or without imperfections - is an original piece of art. As I mentioned in a previous posting, they can be printed on different kinds of paper and fabrics, or in different colours, by themselves or together with other linoleum blocks - the possibilities are endless. This particular piece was inspired by rosette carvings in the Library of Parliament. Previously, I've created six watercolour and ink illustrations of these rosettes which were 15 cm in diameter. By comparison, this linoprint image is 10 cm in diameter and doesn't have the same degree of detail. However, it is a different artform just as oil paintings are different from watercolour paintings.
J'ai continuĂ© Ă expĂ©rimenter avec la gravure en relief. Cette technique consiste Ă graver soigneusement une image sur du linolĂ©um collĂ© sur un support, Ă appliquer la juste dose d'encre sur la gravure, puis Ă l'imprimer en pressant habilement une feuille de papier lĂ©ger sur le bloc de linolĂ©um. Le processus est assez long et le rĂ©sultat n'est pas toujours garanti. Mais chaque image imprimĂ©e, avec ou sans imperfections, est une Ćuvre d'art originale. Comme je l'ai mentionnĂ© dans un article prĂ©cĂ©dent, on peut les imprimer sur diffĂ©rents types de papier et de tissus, ou en diffĂ©rentes couleurs, seules ou combinĂ©es Ă d'autres blocs de linolĂ©um : les possibilitĂ©s sont infinies. Cette piĂšce en particulier s'inspire des rosaces sculptĂ©es de la BibliothĂšque du Parlement. J'avais auparavant rĂ©alisĂ© six illustrations Ă l'aquarelle et Ă l'encre de ces rosaces, d'un diamĂštre de 15 cm. Par comparaison, cette linogravure mesure 10 cm de diamĂštre et prĂ©sente un niveau de dĂ©tail infĂ©rieur. Cependant, il s'agit d'une forme d'art diffĂ©rente, tout comme la peinture Ă l'huile diffĂšre de l'aquarelle.
Order bars government from âtaking other further actionâ in the creation or operation of the fund so a case challenging it can continue â key US politics stories from Friday, 29 May at a glance
A federal judge in Virginia temporarily blocked the Trump administration from transferring any money into a secretive and loosely controlled $1.8bn fund while a legal challenge proceeds.
The order from US district judge Leonie Brinkema on Friday bars the government from âtaking other further actionâ in the creation or operation of the fund while legal arguments in a case challenging the fund continue. The order is intended âto ensure no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the Anti-Weaponization Fundâ, Brinkema wrote.

Among the 11 workers presumed killed in the disaster were two brothers who worked there together, a trivia champ and an electrician who would help his farmer neighbors cut hay.
