When you execute the Show command as written above, you will notice that Mathematica returns two sub-cells: one that displays the graphics and one that contains the code (labeled Out[xx]:= --graphics--). You can safely delete the sub-cells that contain the Show command and the graphic object. You will be left with the "middle" cell that displays the picture and this cell is now here permanently.
