First let me say, I love doing titles. I wrote for a newspaper for 5 years and loved coming up with a unique title.
I like all the ones you like and here are a few ideas:
*A Reflection of Dreams
It's Magical
Time to Reflect
*Magical Reflection
I seem to keep going back to reflection, I guess because you did such a beautiful job on it.
I love this gorgeous piece of art.
Teri - How dear you are to take the time to help me. What luck for me that you have had some experience. I love your suggestions, so I will let them sit and I know one will win out. Thank you for your very special comments. You have made my day.
Robin, Your latest version is just wonderful. The magnolia leaves really now really anchor the images. Titles, Yikes, this one makes me think "Please, Be Our Guest" then, as the image is so calming, perhaps "Time Out" You'l think of something. Well done. Ginny
Ginny - Thank you for your constant encouragement.
I think Teri's right about the word "reflection" or something along those lines. With only the occasional exception, I'm TERRIBLE at naming paintings -- I tend to want to name them things like "Tabletop Still Life Number Eleven: September" and just get on to the next one. This drives my art teacher CRAZY! The title, however, can be really important ... so get as much feedback as you can! The drawing, by the way, looks FANTASTIC!
Thank you Linda. I am not going to settle on anything. This particular drawing is much too important to me, so it has to have the meaning that the symbols in the drawing have. It all is a process. As is the next one.
Beautiful drawing, Robin.
I don't know your symbolism so these may be off-target, but naming things was one of my favorite things to do as an ad agency writer ... so, I'll play, too ...

Karen - thanks for playing the game. I really appreciate it. Love some of yours, and when I finish I know one will stand out over all the rest. I am sure Michael will have some input too.
Thank you for your kind words and help.
Beautiful drawing! As for the title, I'm not got at such things, but I thought "contemplation" when I first saw it.

Robin, this just keeps getting better! I am also horribe at naming paintings, but will let you know if I come up with anything.

I love all of your titles. This is I think your best work and that is not easy to say because you excell at everything.
This is absolutly beautiful!
I'm not good at titles but what comes to mind is
'Tomorrow's Dream'
It will come to you.
Terri - I like those
Stacy - it is an art in itself. Thanks for checking back in. Your encouragement means a lot.
Mary - what can I say Dear Friend, but I appreciate all of your praise. You lift my spirits every time we talk.
Toni - I really like your suggestion ... a lot!
This a beautiful drawing, Robin. Fun to see its progress, too. I'm in the minority here as far as titles go. I'd let the drawing's meaning and power speak for itself----it will be different for each viewer. I'd call it something like 'Black, White, Gray.' A more 'poetic' title could have the effect of oversentimentalizing it and rob it of some of the mystery behind the juxtaposition of the objects you've chosen.
