Thanks for all the valuable input! I knew I was close to the wire. I owe the feeling behind the picture to Raleigh. He was MY poodle and the delight of my heart for many years. As I look at my puppy picture I keep thinking it looks a bit juvenile. Maybe it’s the background. I thought I was trying to keep the background simple but I think “simple” is too much like what I got. It needs to recede or something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I love this - this little guy is so endearing! I am not a watercolorist, but if you could dull down and soften the brushstrokes of the paint in the background, I think you would get the recession you are looking for.
