The orange pencil canvas is a visual representation of the phrase "Don't take life to seriously'. 16th century artist Agnolo Bronzino probably didn’t envision his painting ‘A portrait of an unknown woman’ to quite take on this form of satire.

The pencil under the nose is enough to brighten our day. Our posture, the way we move and our facial expressions all affect our emotions... so remember to smile and you will feel happier, stand tall and you will be stronger, and move gracefully and you will feel like a ballerina! The orange pencil canvas shows a woman with an orange pencil across her top lip, provoked into using her facial muscles to hold the pencil in place and as such actually feeling happier for doing so.
