Michele's cousin Mary is a very talented artist. We thought it would be nice if we would ask her to make a piece of artwork to hang on Sammy's wall. Michele figured something with a cowboy theme (since Sammy likes cowboys so much...though right now Batman is the thing). So Paul got the notion that maybe if we had Sammy as the cowboy....now Mary will be making a set of two pieces of artwork. The works are, still in progress, but here is where things are now (we're very excited):
Mary's original concept...
Sammy's 3rd-year birthday portrait...
Paul's idea he sent to Mary..."Sammy with that kind of look
where he's both a boy, yet seems older than he is (and then again
doesn't). -- I figure Sammy will not always like
cowboys, but Michele and I will always like Sammy)."

And the concept Paul made from the original photo:
Mary sent us a progress photo...
