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*.

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

Episode 3: "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 Aragorn, "is there supposed to be actual hay sticking out of the canvas?"

Episode 4: 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.

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

Episode 6: "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?"
Aragorn 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 7: "Eyes that captivated the world," Gliomach tells Aragorn. "The original title is National Geographic's Afghan Girl and it took years to locate the girl with magical eyes after it was taken."

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

Episode 8: Aragorn 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? Aragorn is pretty sure plastic wasn't around back then, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

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.

Aragorn, 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: "The Monument To Chopin In The Luxembourg Gardens by Henri Rousseau is one of the crowd favorites," Gliomach tells Aragorn. "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!"

Aragorn 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 11: "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?"
Aragorn grabbed a trusty smartz phone, using Petoogle, and looked up WHY it would be titled that. After some interesting reading, Aragorn, clearly even more confused, sauntered on after Gliomach to the next display.

Episode 12: Gliomach was full of immense knowledge about Water Lilies by Claude Monet, and Aragorn learned a lot. Surprisingly to Aragorn, 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! Aragorn 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 13: "Raphael's Cherubs! I got that as a birthday card last year," exclaimed Aragorn!
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.
Aragorn seemed pretty excited though, to see that popular art in the original, wait, maybe not the original? Aragorn sees a little tell all stuck to the canvas. It appears to be a price tag from Ikeeyah?

Aragorn is questing!
Episode 14: "Well, that is a pretty fancy apartment," Aragorn exclaimed after Gliomach announced the title. "A Corner of the Apartment by Claude Monet is certainly not water lilies, is it?"
Aragorn was curious if this might be an authentic Monet, but upon looking at the signature, it looked a little more like Momet than Monet................

Aragorn is questing!
Episode 15: "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 Aragorn 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 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, Aragorn 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: "To the right, Aragorn, you can see the stunning Sunrise By the Ocean by Vladimir Kush."

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

Episode 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Aragorn stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Aragorn 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: "The Scream by Edvard Munch is hanging on my bedroom wall," exclaimed Aragorn! "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.

Aragorn is questing!
Episode 20: "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.

Aragorn 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 21: "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, Aragorn 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, Aragorn also noticed the Petmart price tag still attached to the side of the canvas. Rather than argue with Gliomach about authenticity, Aragorn moved on to the next wall hanging.

Episode 22: 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, Aragorn wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

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