"Winter Pear Tree" watercolour and pen on brown paper

My studio window is filled with this pear tree, always beautiful throughout the seasons. I had bought the drawing folio of brown paper in St Petersburg, Russia. It seemed a good background to allow the white of the raindrops to appear. The bird flies through the winter bare branches. I'm looking down into our garden.
