Episode 1: "Ahoy mateys! Kreeft is landlocked today, and will be guiding your way! Artsy farsty art is what we'll be looking at today, rolling with the hoi polloi and like a rock gathers no moss, we'll be rolling along and along. There's plenty to see, look, a squirrel! Oh my, look at that cute tail! Where was I? Oh yes, art. Yes, it's all about art today. A hedgehog, too? Why, isn't this the cutesiest tootsiest widdle thing? What? Can we begin the tour? Why, of course! And what are we touring today? ART? In an art gallery, why, of course it's art! Who's the guide? ME? Heh heh heh, of course it's me I was just seeing if you were paying attention!
All right, let's go!"

Episode 3: Kreeft explains to sparky and the tour group that this piece of pop art, created by one of PnF's up and coming artists, depicts American hard rock band Guns n Roses. sparky and some of the other little pets level blank stares at Kreeft, while several others begin humming their favorite Guns n Roses song.
"Art and music are both in the eye of the beholder," sparky thinks, before moving on to the next piece...

Episode 4: Kreeft directs the attention of sparky's tour group toward the next masterpiece awaiting their appreciation. sparky takes one look and blinks, because sparky is seeing an awful lot of yellow, which is pretty bright and sunny...but...all of that yellow is making sparky feel somewhat jaundiced! So sparky makes an instant decision to sign up for the Dry September movement, and join a gym, for the sake of sparky's liver and for sparky's overall health and well-being! sparky is pretty certain that most of the hares in this art are thinking the same thing, because they seem to be heading in the same direction...?

Episode 6: Red Twinkle and Lace Dress
From the Pauli Hoh collection
With just a hint of subtle sparkle and the classic elegance of handmade lace, this sassy red gown will make sure all eyes are on you.

Episode 7: sparky gasps in amazement when Kreeft shows the group this whimsical piece from the gallery's surreal collection. sparky can readily imagine skinny dipping in the gentle pool at the base of the waterfall, with dappled sunlight spilling into the still water...
Kreeft doesn't know if this piece actually has a name, so he just thinks of it as "The Stuff Dreams are Made of"...

Episode 8: eeeeeeeeeeeek! sparky does a quick flea count just to make sure that no passengers are missing, and goes weak in the knees with relief! Kreeft helps sparky to a chair, hastily fanning until sparky's colour returns to normal. Then Kreeft carefully explains to the whole group that no matter how lifelike it appears, this is just a painting of a flea in somepet's hair, not the real deal!

Episode 9: Kreeft is busily describing Fireside Tales while sparky thinks back fondly to childhood memories of long ago campfires and the exciting stories shared there...

Episode 10: Kathy’s Autumn Reflections is a fine example of this PnF artist’s mastery of colours and hues! This beautiful scene perfectly encapsulates the beauty of a PnF autumn, and also reflects it back at the viewer in its clear, still waters! With autumn just around the corner in PnF Land, sparky is delighted to receive such a beautiful scene to use in the weekly art challenge!

Episode 11: Snowflake was created by our superb local artist, and is a Mussee favorite with all cat lovers (particularly those who are cats!) Whereas the artist has never officially confirmed that this is a self portrait, some believe that it is. The attention to detail, lovingly created for all to enjoy is evident. You can clearly see the concentration on the kitteh's face, perfecting every detail.

Episode 12: Kreeft pumps out his chest, turning to sparky and the group, as he presents "Blue Waves", an amazing composition by a relatively unknown PnF artist. Surely Blue Waves will become a future masterpiece, and rival "Blue Poles" $350 million price tag, because squiggles are much more complex to draw than straight lines, are they not?

Episode 13: sparky and the tour group raise eyebrows, well...those pets that actually have eyebrows pretty much raise them...as Kreeft clears his throat. sparky is not shy, so sparky pipes up and asks "is this really art"? Kreeft sighs...a l-o-n-g suffering sigh...and patiently explains that art is an expression by the artist that creates it, and an interpretation by the appreciator that views it. Nothing more! Nothing less! And more importantly, art IS FUN!!! sparky actually has some junk in Inventory, and promises to compile A LOT of it for the next weekly art challenge, grudgingly admitting that it will probably be fun to do! Kreeft would have smirked in response, if Kreeft actually had lips to smirk with!

Episode 14: Kreeft presents an interesting example of gothic art to sparky and the group. sparky wonders if this could be a portrait of Count Dracula during his college days? He certainly has the shoulders of a linebacker!

Episode 15: Rose Shantung Dress
From the Pauli Hoh collection
This elegant rose-pink dress is made from organic “Peace” shantung, woven from fallen, empty cocoons following completion of the lifecycle of the silkworm. It is a luxurious, textured yet crisp fabric with a wonderful lustre. Further embellishments are provided by crewel-work shoulder straps, delicate lace insets and the whole is brought to vivid life by sparkling baubles in violet and fuchsia. This is the crème de la crème of posh frocks for the fashion-conscious pet with aspirations!

Episode 19: Rosie’s Follow Your Dream is a whimsical landscape that cleverly uses light to draw viewers into the image, until they can virtually feel the slippery rocks and icy water under their paws, and then feel compelled to move towards the deeper blue water in the distance… sparky feels sure that their hooman will be very pleased with sparky for bringing home such a delightful print of this famous PnF landscape!

Episode 20: "Cat Lovers is a popular piece here at Musee d'art de Cannelle", said Kreeft with a chuckle.
sparky smiled, remembering the story their tour guide had told earlier of Cannelle's reluctance to include cats in her collection when the museum first opened. Apparently her puppyhood included several close encounters with some very sharp clawed kittens, but her sense of fairness overcame her reluctance, and her former nemeses have become a part of her success, both tangible and intangible.

Episode 25: After viewing all of the inspiring works in this section of Musee d’Art de Cannelle, sparky 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 sparky stumbles upon a stately mansion, which looks very similar to one in a Wyeth masterpiece...
"A present for me?" asks sparky, hardly daring to hope!
