Pedro Picasso (Spanish, 1888 - 1955) // Feelin’ Blue, 1923 // Crayon on paper || It's not that easy being blue; Having to spend each day the color of bad moods. When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold- or something much more colorful like that. It's not easy being blue. It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things. And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water- or stars in the sky. But blue’s the color of water. And blue can be cool and friendly-like. And blue can be big like the ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree. When blue is all there is to be It could make you wonder why, but why wonder? Why Wonder, I am blue and it'll do fine, it's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be.
