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

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

Episode 3: "Well, that is a pretty fancy apartment," Solange exclaimed after Gliomach announced the title. "A Corner of the Apartment by Claude Monet is certainly not water lilies, is it?"
Solange 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 4: "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 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."
Solange is a little leery of calling it an actual Monet, but it's pretty, and Solange enjoys looking at it just the same.

Episode 6: "Does it speak to you?" asked Gliomach.

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

Episode 7: "The Son of Man by René Magritte is one of the gallery's finest pieces," Gliomach exclaims, showing off the painting with pride to Solange. "It's been seen all over the world, mimicked by other artists, and even used by companies for logos."

Solange 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 8: Solange 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? Solange 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.

Solange, 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 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, Solange wonders if there might be an even bigger mystery here?

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

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

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

Episode 14: "Huh," said Solange. "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 15: Gliomach was full of immense knowledge about Water Lilies by Claude Monet, and Solange learned a lot. Surprisingly to Solange, 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! Solange 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 16: "The Scream by Edvard Munch is hanging on my bedroom wall," exclaimed Solange! "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 17: Slowly walking up to the next masterpiece, Solange 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 18: "The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is a gallery favorite," Gliomach exclaimed excitedly, gliding over to the sizable painting.
Solange stands back to take in all the different elements of this one. Amazed at the sheer size, Solange 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 Monument To Chopin In The Luxembourg Gardens by Henri Rousseau is one of the crowd favorites," Gliomach tells Solange. "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!"

Solange 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 20: "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*.

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

Episode 21: "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".

Solange 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 Solange can get a job as an art appraiser? And giggles a little at the thought.

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