Can’t Censor My Smile by Shawn Freemore
Medium: Acrylic and watercolor on canvas
Dimensions: 10 x 10
Artist Statement: The idea is that even though "the powers that be" try to cover and stifle joy in here, my smile still breaks through, visible in the eyes. Because joy is more than an action of the mouth.
Image description: A smiling face has it’s mouth covered by a black panel that has the “no smiling” sign on it. There is still a twinkle in it’s eye.
