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 Sheemie Ruiz, "is there supposed to be actual hay sticking out of the canvas?"

Episode 3: "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. Sheemie Ruiz 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 4: "Huh," said Sheemie Ruiz. "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 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."
Sheemie Ruiz is a little leery of calling it an actual Monet, but it's pretty, and Sheemie Ruiz enjoys looking at it just the same.

Episode 6: "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?"
Sheemie Ruiz grabbed a trusty smartz phone, using Petoogle, and looked up WHY it would be titled that. After some interesting reading, Sheemie Ruiz, clearly even more confused, sauntered on after Gliomach to the next display.

Episode 7: "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, Sheemie Ruiz 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, Sheemie Ruiz also noticed the Petmart price tag still attached to the side of the canvas. Rather than argue with Gliomach about authenticity, Sheemie Ruiz moved on to the next wall hanging.

Episode 8: "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.

Sheemie Ruiz 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 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.

Sheemie Ruiz, 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: "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!"
"Sheemie Ruiz! 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 11: "The Son of Man by René Magritte is one of the gallery's finest pieces," Gliomach exclaims, showing off the painting with pride to Sheemie Ruiz. "It's been seen all over the world, mimicked by other artists, and even used by companies for logos."

Sheemie Ruiz 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 12: "And here we have the painting for the adventurer, The Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich", said Gliomach "Authenticated as the original, Musee d'art de Cannelle is extremely pleased to add it to this prestigious collection".

Sheemie Ruiz has been enjoying the painting as well, then notices a glitch on the painting. Someone used some cellophane tape to patch up a small tear. Maybe Sheemie Ruiz can get a job as an art appraiser? And giggles a little at the thought.

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

Episode 14: "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 Sheemie Ruiz.
"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 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 Sheemie Ruiz 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: "To the right, Sheemie Ruiz, you can see the stunning Sunrise By the Ocean by Vladimir Kush."

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

Episode 17: "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*.

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

Episode 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Sheemie Ruiz stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Sheemie Ruiz 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 Sheemie Ruiz! "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 20: "Does it speak to you?" asked Gliomach.

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

Episode 21: 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, Sheemie Ruiz wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

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