so... whadiya think?!?
This week I'm putting the finishing touches on another one of the sketches to go with the WATERCOLORS collection -- as you may've figured out by now, I have a heck of a time coming up with titles, but this time, I think I've got a good one.
So we started with Reflections in a Tidal Pool, which is ironic, because it is probably going to be the last movement of the collection. After much deliberation and discussion, I settled on the title for the next one, Moon Over Twilight Lake (I'm imagining this one being third). Next came an excellent suggestion from the peanut gallery -- Echoes of Sun and Ice -- this one will be first. Which brings us to the one I'm finishing now -- it's very coloristic, pointalistic, and minimalistic, with a quiet, unsettled atmosphere. The title I've come up with is:
Raindrops Hang From a Spider's Web
SO WHADIYA THINK?!?

I find that the best titles are stolen from Steve Bryant. I think you should call the piece:
"Raindrops in Silent Spaces"
or perhaps
"Monkey at Twilight Lake"
Glad to help.

Raindrops don't really hang, so how about Raindrops on a Spider's Web?
If you look at the rest of the titles of the pieces and remember the Moon dances on twilight lake...the problem seemed to be the verb. None of the titles thus far have a verb in them, and so I think adding hang to this particular title cuts across the grain of the other title pieces in "Water Colors"
So maybe:
Raindrops (On/From/In) a Spider's
Web.
consider making it non-possesive
Raindrops (From/On/In) a Spider Web
and if you can think of a better preposition than From/On/In then use it...but I think that structure has worked reall well for the other titles: Subject modified by prepositional phrase. (Subject - Prep. - Obj. of Prep.)

Hazy Mist Across a Spider's Web
Omnipotent Rain
Omnipotent Rain Showers
