Episode 1: "Hello, everypet! Hello! How are we today? I am Gliomach, and I will be your guide to the Old Masters today.
I have several degrees in fine arts, and I assure you, if you should have any questions about the art on display, I am glad to answer for you.
I get giddy just thinking about seeing these incredible works of art! All originals, you know. I even authenticated some myself! Did I mention that I have a degree in fine arts? Oh, I did? Well, then, let the tour begin!
Remember to stay together as a group, we mustn't straggle and get lost!"

Episode 2: "Well," said Gliomach, "this is Whistler's Mother, a painting by James McNeil Whistler. I have always wondered if, with a name like Whistler, he could carry a tune?" *giggle*.

Kincsem's eyes rolled, and just took in the canvas. Kincsem thought her bonnet had longer ties? But maybe not...

Episode 3: "And here we have the watercolor To Such Belongs the Kingdom of God, created by Randy Klassen, founding pastor of University Covenant Church. It has touched thousands in Europe, America and China, and is now on display exclusively here at Musee d'art de Cannelle." Gliomach glowed with pride while explaining that the artist wanted to convey that the Kingdom of God is to have a childlike faith.

Kincsem took in the watercolor, musing that it would take a childlike faith to believe that this was an original, but enjoyed the painting anyhow.

Episode 4: "The Monument To Chopin In The Luxembourg Gardens by Henri Rousseau is one of the crowd favorites," Gliomach tells Kincsem. "You can see here for yourself the culture of the days of yore. Oh, how I long for those days! The proper manners, the wardrobes and attention to the details!"

Kincsem takes a look down, mentally noting that a pair of flip flops, cargo shorts and t-shirt with the PNF logo might not be up to Gliomach's wardrobe standards.

Episode 5: "Here we have Houses of Parliament, Sunset by Claude Monet. Monet was well known for a series of paintings of the River Thames, and we have the most rare of them all, here on display at Musee d'art de Cannelle! This is one of the very few that Monet painted in vivid color, using the colors of sunset in the fog."
Kincsem is a little leery of calling it an actual Monet, but it's pretty, and Kincsem enjoys looking at it just the same.

Episode 6: "Pablo Picasso's Seated Woman with Hood, was painted in 1902 at Staatsgalerie. Stuttgart, Germany is where this artistic gem is normally showcased," explained Gliomach, "but it's on special loan to Musee d'art de Cannelle. Cannelle is a special friend of the curator there and they were gracious enough to loan it for our grand opening!"

Episode 7: "Huh," said Kincsem. "This is art? I mean, I just don't know. I guess to each their own but Rooms by the Sea, by Edward Hopper will not be a favorite of mine."
Gliomach's eyes bugged out even farther (as you know lobster's eyes tend to be a bit buggy anyhow) and he choked on his words, sputtering to get them out, "That is............ that is....... why, you uncultured............" sputtering even more, because the brain fog cleared and Gliomach remembered Cannelle's first rule; the customer (no matter how wrong) is always right.
"Yes, well, uh, let us move forward then, you have seen enough" Gliomach replied.

Episode 8: "The Son of Man by René Magritte is one of the gallery's finest pieces," Gliomach exclaims, showing off the painting with pride to Kincsem. "It's been seen all over the world, mimicked by other artists, and even used by companies for logos."

Kincsem laughed, and mentioned that perhaps this, too, might be a mimic piece, but Gliomach snorted and stormed away, grumbling about visitors not knowing a pièce de ré·sis·tance when they see it.

Episode 9: Café Terrace at Night is an 1888 oil painting by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, which showcases the local cuisine of our town, as the cafe is still open, and you can visit there! Amazing that it has become timeless!" Gliomach said.

Kincsem, however, realizes that it's been some time since lunch and starts daydreaming about that caramel apple cinnamon frappe for breakfast, and wonders what culinary masterpieces might be at the cafe?

Episode 10: "And here we have on display The Ancient of Days painted by William Blake," Gliomach explained as he showed off the canvas. "Did you know that this was also one of Blake's favorite works that he created?"
Kincsem was mesmerized by the contrast of the painting, and was amazed that there were the same colors in a box of crayons, and gave serious thought about trying to recreate it later on the wall of the hotel room.....

Episode 11: Gliomach waves his claw dramatically toward the next work of art. "Here we have St. Peter Enthroned by Italian painter Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Guidi, who came to be nicknamed Masaccio. Although he was one of the most significant painters of the early 15th century, very little is known about his training, and the influences that shaped his unique style remain a mystery to this day."

As Gliomach drones on, Kincsem wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

Episode 12: Slowly walking up to the next masterpiece, Kincsem is moved by the portrayal of love between the mother and child depicted by Edvard Munch. The sick child is such an emotional piece, Gliomach is silent, allowing everypet to take in the painting.

Episode 13: "Raphael's Cherubs! I got that as a birthday card last year," exclaimed Kincsem!
Gliomach smothered a deep sigh, trying not to be frustrated with the lack of art knowledge by this everypet, and counting down the minutes to the next break.
Kincsem seemed pretty excited though, to see that popular art in the original, wait, maybe not the original? Kincsem sees a little tell all stuck to the canvas. It appears to be a price tag from Ikeeyah?

Episode 14: "Henri Rousseau painted this Portrait Of The Father Of The Artist, and generously bequeathed it to Musee d'art de Cannelle in his last will and testament," Gliomach breathed with excitement!
Whipping out a trusty smartz phone, Kincsem quickly looked up information on Rousseau, only to find that he passed away long before the gallery was around, since this was the grand opening. Peering at the canvas, Kincsem also noticed the Petmart price tag still attached to the side of the canvas. Rather than argue with Gliomach about authenticity, Kincsem moved on to the next wall hanging.

Episode 15: "Well, that is a pretty fancy apartment," Kincsem exclaimed after Gliomach announced the title. "A Corner of the Apartment by Claude Monet is certainly not water lilies, is it?"
Kincsem was curious if this might be an authentic Monet, but upon looking at the signature, it looked a little more like Momet than Monet................

Episode 16: "And here! Here we have one of the biggest pop culture icons of art! Grant Woods' American Gothic from 1930 has been parodied in real life and art many times over and here at Musee d'art de Cannelle we have the original!" Gliomach excitedly explained.

Because Kincsem has seen so many versions on the EveryPet Comedy Channel and in Everypet Magazine, it's really hard to remember what the original looked like in the first place, so how can you argue with Gliomach's claim to fame?

Episode 17: "The Scream by Edvard Munch is hanging on my bedroom wall," exclaimed Kincsem! "It's been my favorite poster for years!"

"Poster? Poster? Why this is an original, good pet!" Gliomach cried out! "It has been one of the crowning jewels of the gallery and you dare to call it a poster. Oh my, what is the world coming to?"
Gliomach puts his claws over his eyes and cries a little tear at the thought of everypet not appreciating true art.

Episode 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Kincsem stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Kincsem notices that it's two panels, sewn together, but you can hardly notice the seam. Closing his eyes, Gliomach mentions that if you close your eyes, you can almost hear the ocean...............

Episode 19: "And here we have the self portrait of Vincent Van Gogh that he titled Man with a bandaged ear, as he had mutilated his own ear and it was healing. Artists seem to suffer for their work, and I, too, must suffer the strange comments made by some of the everypets who come to Musee d'art de Cannelle," Gliomach indicated to the painting on the wall.
"Strange thing, Gliomach, I don't think that Pand Aids were available in the days of Van Gogh," said Kincsem.
"Well, now, I think that just might be how the paint is flaking off, not a Pand Aid," replied Gliomach, "And if you're done, let's move to the next artist's display."

Episode 20: Gliomach scuttles over to the first painting,with Kincsem sauntering along.
"Here we have Girl with a Pearl Earring, an oil painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer. Amazing, is she not? Her beauty glows from within, her lips, oooh la la! You can stare at her all day, and never tire of gazing into those blue eyes."
"What? You do not find her captivating? Why, how can you deny that aura she possesses? Not real? I would never dream of a gallery containing a forgery!"
Gliomach shuffles off to the next display, mumbling under his breath.

Episode 21: "And here, we have the priceless The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso hanging with great pride in Musee d'art de Cannelle!" Gliomach puffed with pride showing off the masterpiece.

Kincsem giggled and made a comment that it really didn't look much like Reith Kitchards, the famous old guitarist Kincsem used to play on air guitar.......

Episode 22: "Eyes that captivated the world," Gliomach tells Kincsem. "The original title is National Geographic's Afghan Girl and it took years to locate the girl with magical eyes after it was taken."

Kincsem didn't want to be rude, but the eyes in the gallery piece had a creepy way of following Kincsem when moving around to see the picture better. It's time to move on to the next master!

Episode 23: "Toulouse Lautrec's Woman Lithographic Poster is the next painting on our tour, and we're so very blessed to have procured the original, so authentic, yes it is!" Gliomach gushed.
Kincsem wasn't so sure, since there appeared to be some faint numbers under that yellow hair, making Kincsem think of the childhood paint by numbers everypet would do during a rainy day..................

Episode 24: "Well, here it is! Please be careful when gazing on the beauty, you wouldn't want to trip our extensive alarm system! This is obviously the original of Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa', and we must be careful to preserve the painting at all costs."
"Cannelle considered hiring a super ninja to keep it safe, but decided on electronic security hidden in sly places." Gliomach played with the remote in his clumsy claws, accidentally tripping the siren and flashing lights. While everypet on the tour scrambled to get out of the way of security guards, Kincsem noted that Mona Lisa's smile looked a little more like a smirk, and did she really just wink? How is that possible?

Episode 25: After viewing all of the inspiring works in this section of Musee d’Art de Cannelle, Kincsem is feeling a little sad to have to return to a gourd house that looks exactly the same as every other gourd house in PnF Land, which is not terribly exciting...because if you've seen one gourd house, you've seen them all!

But suddenly Kincsem stumbles upon a stately mansion, which looks very similar to one in a Wyeth masterpiece...
"A present for me?" asks Kincsem, hardly daring to hope!
