Lately many of my paintings seem to have some kind of musical reference. This one was first inspired by a woman I saw getting out of her car wearing red pants and a pink top. It’s a color combo that gets me every time. Takes courage to wear those together, but I love it!
I did a little searching in the archives for songs with red in the lyrics. What came up was “ Little Red Corvette”, “Crimson and Clover”, “Lady in Red”, “Red Red Wine”, all very well known but about something romantic. I ended up fixating on the lyrics of “Yashimi Battles the Pink Robots” by the Flaming Lips. I used to listen to it, over and over, In the song, Yashimi is a hero battling evil natured robots that just happen to be pink. Who know where this girl and her car was going or what she was up to that day, but for sure she was dressed ready to battle using color as her armor. To me she was Yashimi, or Silena from Rick Riodan’s The DemiGod Files.
“Silena appeared out of the woods, her sword drawn. Her Aphrodite armour was pink and red, colour coordinated to match her clothes and makeup. She looked like Guerilla Warfare Barbie.”
If you don't know the song, here is a link for you. :)))
