Up until now, I have only painted reborn dolls that are NB-3M. I have headed in a whole new direction with the Vincent sculpt because he is a teeny preemie baby measuring about 17" and only weighing an estimated 3lbs!
During my visit to the Kansas Doll Show last year, I got a chance to see this sculpt (and cuddle) him in person. He reminded me of my own baby photos as I was a 2lb preemie at birth. Since then, I knew this sculpt would go on my wish list to paint and the day has come.

I'm happy with how he turned out! I tried some new details like a heart-shaped birth mark and baby scratches. They are subtle, which is what I like. I always like to do my melinated reborn babies with darker ears, as that is customary trait of darker skinned babies when they are young. He has the cutest little cry-baby face! Originally, I thought this baby would be a girl but by the end I saw all boy! I decided to name him Oliver (I call him Ollie for short).
