Y/lukinq art o{ old windows
By CHARLOTTE
PERKINS
HHJ Lifestyle Editor
KATHLEEN - Some
artists paint on paper,
some on canvas. Barbara
Wolfe Tucker paints on old
windows, with results that
are whimsical and charm
ing.
Everywhere you look,
even in the garage, you’ll
see her work: paintings on
glass, already “framed”
with old window frames.
She gets the frames
when houses are being
torn down or renovated,
and some people just bring
them to her, she says.
Many of the frames have
a weatherworn look that
just happens to be right in
style for country decorat
ing, but the glass gets a
thorough cleaning first
with alcohol, then with
window cleaner (She rec
ommends Glass Plus) and
paper towels.
To her husband, David,
the fact that his wife jug
gles a full-time job, and
looking after two sons
with painting is nothing
new.
“If she’s awake, she’s
artistic,” he says, sum
ming up Barbara’s cre
ative drive.
She’s been drawing most
of her life, and has had
some art lessons as well as
teaching art to children,

'l2 Angry Men’ explores issues ol justice by jury
From staff reports
Starting Friday night
the Perry Players will
present a tense drama set
in a jury room, with a
group of 12 men determin
ing the fate of a frightened
teenage defendant charged
with killing his father.
The play by Reginald
Rose, is based on the 1957
made-for-TV movie star
ring Henry Fonda, Jack
Klugman and E.G.
Marshall, deals with 12
men of different back
grounds who bring their
values, prejudices, their
life experience, and their
different worldviews to the
task of determining the
guilt or innocence of a
young man who has been
poorly represented in mur
der trial.
Playing the 12 jurors are
Andy Payne, Gary Baker,
Entertainment
but her fascination with
painting windows began at
a party at a friend’s home,
when she saw her first
painted widow.
“I saw one, and .1
thought I could do that,”
she says.
Since then she’s experi
mented in dozens of ways.
Some of her windows are
backed with old parch
ment paper, one has faded
crocheted doilies as a back
ground for old family pho
tos, others have full land
scapes, or colorful farm
scenes (She’s raised chick
ens before, and loves
painting hens and roost
ers.)
She has sold quite a few,
she says, and she’s getting
a Web site going at whim
sicalwindow.com.
Because she has a busy
schedule with her family
and with running the
Vintage Salon, she does
most of her painting at
night.
“I like to have a long
stretch of time,” she says.
Barbara is a South
Georgia native who grew
up in Warner Robins, and
is a die-hard Demons fan,
unlike her husband, who is
went to Northside and
cheers for the Eagles.
Their son, Chris, is 18 and
attends Perry High School.
Clayton, 10, is a student at
Momingside.
Bill Sirmon, Michael
Williams, Christian Poss,
Allan Sproles, Jeffrey
Lintz, Chuck Mollenkopf,
Todd Wilson, Fred
Monahan, David Cofield
and Jim Roberge.
Bill Andrews is directing
and Todd Wilson produc
ing. Anne-Marie Saul is
the state manager and
Gary Deibert is in charge
of lighting. Sponsors for
this play are Pearson
Farms, Geiger LLS, Perry
Drug Company and
Westmoreland Hospital.
The box office is open
now for reservations,
which can be made by call
ing (478) 987-5354.
Show times are Friday
and Saturday at 8 p.m.;
