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: "And here, we have Church, Taos Pueblo by Ansel Adams," said Gliomach as he waved his claw in the direction of the wall hanging.
Serendipity asked, "Excuse me, but wasn't that a photograph? I mean, Ansel Adams was a photographer, right? Not a painter."
Gliomach turned a ghastly shade of blue and replied that painting was Ansel's favorite pastime, a very unpublished secret, and that the original, displayed here, was actually a painting.
Serendipity remained skeptical, but played along, and nodded, which seemed to make Gliomach happy.

Episode 3: 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, Serendipity wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

Episode 4: Slowly walking up to the next masterpiece, Serendipity 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 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."
Serendipity is a little leery of calling it an actual Monet, but it's pretty, and Serendipity enjoys looking at it just the same.

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

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

Episode 7: Gliomach was full of immense knowledge about Water Lilies by Claude Monet, and Serendipity learned a lot. Surprisingly to Serendipity, this might actually be an original, authentic piece! Because Monet painted 250 different scenes featuring his water lilies in oils, this might be THE ONE! Serendipity peers closely at the canvas, and doesn't see anything obvious that says it might be a forgery! Monet's Lilies for the win!

Episode 8: "Huh," said Serendipity. "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 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.

Serendipity, 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: Gliomach clatters over to the next painting, "That is Self Portrait Facing Death (June 30, 1972) by Pablo Picasso." Gliomach continues on, explaining that this was done in the later years by Picasso, who created whatever he wanted, however he wanted.

Serendipity thought there might have been something similar hanging on the fridge, drawn by the neighbor's toddler, but dared not critique it in front of Gliomach, since he was a little snippy the last time.

Episode 11: "Walk this way, you must see this one! Mondrian's Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow is always a crowd favorite! How does it make you feel? What do you think about it? Can you imagine the talent it took to create this masterpiece?"
Gliomach is very passionate about this piece. Serendipity wonders secretly how to paint it since it would be a brilliant new wall cover in the living room. And do you think anyone would pay for that re-creation?

Episode 12: "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*.

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

Episode 13: "Raphael's Cherubs! I got that as a birthday card last year," exclaimed Serendipity!
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.
Serendipity seemed pretty excited though, to see that popular art in the original, wait, maybe not the original? Serendipity 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, Serendipity 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, Serendipity also noticed the Petmart price tag still attached to the side of the canvas. Rather than argue with Gliomach about authenticity, Serendipity moved on to the next wall hanging.

Episode 15: "Does it speak to you?" asked Gliomach.

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

Episode 16: "And here we have The Town by Paul Klee. You can enjoy the lighthearted colors and shapes and really, how does it make you feel? Restful? Energetic?" Gliomach asked.
After studying it for a few moments, Serendipity yawned and thought it looked very much like the quilt made by Grammie Everypet, and that perhaps a nap right here wouldn't be such a bad idea...........

Episode 17: "Rene Margritte painted "This Is Not a Pipe" in 1948, and minds were blown! Why, how can you say it's not a pipe, when it clearly is a pipe?"
Serendipity grabbed a trusty smartz phone, using Petoogle, and looked up WHY it would be titled that. After some interesting reading, Serendipity, clearly even more confused, sauntered on after Gliomach to the next display.

Episode 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Serendipity stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Serendipity 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: "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 Serendipity, "is there supposed to be actual hay sticking out of the canvas?"

Episode 20: "The Scream by Edvard Munch is hanging on my bedroom wall," exclaimed Serendipity! "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 21: Gliomach scuttles over to the first painting,with Serendipity 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 22: "To the right, Serendipity, you can see the stunning Sunrise By the Ocean by Vladimir Kush."

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

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.
Serendipity wasn't so sure, since there appeared to be some faint numbers under that yellow hair, making Serendipity 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, Serendipity 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, Serendipity 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 Serendipity stumbles upon a quaint cottage, which looks very similar to one in a Monet masterpiece....
"A present for me?" asks Serendipity, hardly daring to hope!
