This blog is also in a Blue Period. Unlike Picasso, I'm not depressed. I just think blue is calming. Although like Picasso, I would like to call attention to the downtrodden.

Blue Period
If you're not familiar with this term "The Blue Period", it refers to a phase when Picasso's palette was turning out cool blue paintings. The subjects were usually dejected figures -- prostitutes, beggars, addicts. These images came in response to the suicide of a close friend.
