"Owl and Bees" is a watercolor painting by Joseph Crawhall II (1861–1913), a British artist known for his distinct style and contribution to the Glasgow Boys group of painters. The work is characteristic of Crawhall's fascination with birds and wildlife, subjects that frequently appear in his art. The painting depicts an owl amidst a swarm of bees, showcasing Crawhall's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

Crawhall's technique often involved the use of Chinese white, a zinc white watercolor, which allowed him to achieve a luminosity and transparency in his paintings. His method also included leaving parts of the paper untouched to serve as highlights, a practice that contributed to the sense of lightness and movement in his works. "Owl and Bees" exemplifies this approach, with the white of the owl's feathers contrasting against the more vivid colors of the bees and the surrounding environment.

The painting is reflective of the late 19th and early 20th-century British interest in naturalism and the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the beauty of the natural world. Joseph Crawhall's work, including "Owl and Bees," is often celebrated for its technical skill and its contribution to the transition from Victorian to modern art styles in Britain.

"Owl and Bees" is not only an example of Crawhall's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to the period's shifting artistic sensibilities. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Joseph Crawhall and the broader context of British art history.
