Margot Hattingh - From the Titles category:

Words excite me enormously. Some of mine are metaphor, allusion and illusion, allegory, personification, inversion, and paradox. I find that sometimes - if I'm lucky - I can go on a roll with titles of as yet invisible paintings that bring the image clearly into my mind's eye. (Margot Hattingh)
