Mabel and Max were the local double dutch champions. Unbeatable, unstoppable jump ropers. When they were interviewed for the neighborhood newsletter and asked what their secret was, they just stared. Intimidating. Oh!

Double Dutch

Double Dare You

​"Double Dare You" - oil on yupo, 22 x 21.5.  Available here and at Artfinder.

Eleanor was absolutely positive that Milo was a big chicken.  Afraid of his own shadow, hiding behind the curtains, nervous about every little noise - it was ridiculous.  So she double dared him every day to come out and do something brave.  She was known for her determination and grit.  What could Milo do?  He had to say yes.  Eleanor was scary!

A double dose of malarkey today, as the last random rabbit and a new monster make their debut.  I can't seem to stay away from these youngsters and their monstrous playmates - it feels cheeky and slightly beyond the pale.
