AUSTIN - The dawn chorus has concluded by late morning, but the sunrise birds still fly through Sam Baker's mind.
Baker sits in his bright Austin studio and runs a China marker around the perimeter of a print of a bird he painted years ago. The original piece of art - a bird with its wings spreading - hangs on the wall. Titled "song of the sunrise birds," it was Baker's first painting. The reprint, on a hearty piece of 100-lb. muscle-tone black paper, is black and all manner of greys. Baker references artist Gerhard Richter, known for his affinity for grey.
"Richter said something like, 'No two greys are the same,' " Baker says. "I like that.
