No Background

Here's a watercolor of mom's dog Shilo:

I've got a bit of touching up to do, but I'm fairly happy with the image overall. My problem, though, is always in the background. What do I do? That tends to be where I ruin the majority of my pictures--trying to put something in the background that doesn't work for whatever reason. The original background here was pebbles. Not very interesting in and of themselves.

A girl's gotta go too! Ha ha.

She's a girl, no fire hydrant please.

Isn't she cute?! It's my little yellow dog!

If you pretend she is in the basement, you can put toys all around her. That's the way the family room looks now, stuffed toys, nyla bones, pieces of stuffing.

I would put a fire hydrant in every pic, but that's me.
