Thanks for the feedback, Mike.
Today I received more pictures, among which are a few that would make a pretty good reference. Unfortunately, I don't have any choice on this 'assignment', as my Mom has dropped quite a few not-to-subtle hints about what she wanted for Christmas, and there aren't any professionals in my area who could do it on such a short notice. So, I've been 'drafted' by the family.
Thanks again, and best wishes for the new year!
