Think about the theme around you, so if it is summer, then add a public waterpark. Add vending machines, or a kiddie garden for kids. If its for adults then add an actual garden and some benches. I hope this helps because Its what I would do!

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.
