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: "So, funny story! When I was a little pet, when we went on road trips, my mum would keep me occupied by telling me stories about haystacks in the field! We would pretend they were everypets, and talk about how they were shivering in the cold together to keep warm, and once in a while there would be a big stack and we thought they looked like a cheerleader pyramid. Oh Gliomach, this is one of my favorite paintings in the gallery!"
"Well that is good to know!" replied Gliomach, "This original, by Claude Monet, is appropriately titled Haystack."
"But wait, Gliomach," exclaimed Shakira, "is there supposed to be actual hay sticking out of the canvas?"

Episode 3: "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 Shakira.
"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 4: "The Son of Man by René Magritte is one of the gallery's finest pieces," Gliomach exclaims, showing off the painting with pride to Shakira. "It's been seen all over the world, mimicked by other artists, and even used by companies for logos."

Shakira 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 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."
Shakira is a little leery of calling it an actual Monet, but it's pretty, and Shakira enjoys looking at it just the same.

Episode 6: "Eyes that captivated the world," Gliomach tells Shakira. "The original title is National Geographic's Afghan Girl and it took years to locate the girl with magical eyes after it was taken."

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

Episode 7: "Seriously, soup cans? These are supposed to be soup cans, Gliomach? I've seen Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, and these right here are not them!"
"Shakira! What are you talking about?" Gliomach exclaimed, "This, this here is the world renowned painting that made Andy famous! How dare you question it's authenticity? I am offended!"

Episode 8: "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, Shakira 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, Shakira also noticed the Petmart price tag still attached to the side of the canvas. Rather than argue with Gliomach about authenticity, Shakira moved on to the next wall hanging.

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.

Shakira, 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: "Does it speak to you?" asked Gliomach.

The painting on the wall, Maurice Denis', The Two Sisters, 1891, did actually speak to Shakira! This everypet recalls great memories with the siblings and sharing silly secrets, and actually enjoyed this painting, forgery or authentic original!

Episode 11: "Huh," said Shakira. "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 12: Shakira finds the oil canvas, Twelve Sunflowers by Van Gogh to be intriguing. Such details in the brush work! But wait, are those plastic seeds stuck in the paint? Shakira is pretty sure plastic wasn't around back then, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Episode 13: "Raphael's Cherubs! I got that as a birthday card last year," exclaimed Shakira!
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.
Shakira seemed pretty excited though, to see that popular art in the original, wait, maybe not the original? Shakira sees a little tell all stuck to the canvas. It appears to be a price tag from Ikeeyah?

Episode 14: "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*.

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

Episode 15: "To the right, Shakira, you can see the stunning Sunrise By the Ocean by Vladimir Kush."

Gliomach clicked his claws and scuttled closer, and encouraged Shakira to come closer, too. Looking at the painting, Shakira thinks it's been awhile since breakfast. Eggs over easy sounds pretty good right now.

Episode 16: "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.

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

Episode 17: 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, Shakira wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

Episode 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Shakira stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Shakira 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: "Well, that is a pretty fancy apartment," Shakira exclaimed after Gliomach announced the title. "A Corner of the Apartment by Claude Monet is certainly not water lilies, is it?"
Shakira 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 20: "The Monument To Chopin In The Luxembourg Gardens by Henri Rousseau is one of the crowd favorites," Gliomach tells Shakira. "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!"

Shakira 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 21: "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?"
Shakira 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 22: "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 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.
Shakira wasn't so sure, since there appeared to be some faint numbers under that yellow hair, making Shakira 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, Shakira 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, Shakira 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 Shakira stumbles upon a funky house, which looks very similar to one in a Picaso masterpiece....
"A present for me?" asks Shakira, hardly daring to hope!
