These are absolutely arresting and beautiful. I wish I understood something about visual art so I could say something intelligent about them. *facepalms*

'absolutely arresting and beautiful.' thanks for that, those are very kind words and way way better than art speak.
I think you do understand something about visual art; I guess that the only difference between someone who has knowledge in visual art is they can use a different terminology.
The funny thing is I try and stay away from that sort of speak.
The best thing that you can do is say what you like about them and that will be great or I guess you could look at more art and then you'd be able to compare.
Gosh, I've gotten longwinded; thanks eversomuch for your very kind words. Cheers

I suppose what I really mean is that I have a hard time understanding what I do like about it, though you have an excellent point about getting a better understanding through a survey. I'll take a swing at it with the second one:
I like the angle of her head, and the way the shadows have fairly distinct gradations or even borders, and the veins of red running through from her wrist across her face, connecting things. And I like the way the light falls in her eyes. But I'm not able to say why I like any of these, or what if anything they have to do with each other.
I try and stay away from that sort of speak.I know the feeling. I think. Though there can be something in it. I'm a musician, so I read a lot of papers and books about music, and, oh, Lord, there is nothing more frustrating than reading stuff that's nothing but pet theories and jargon for the sake of it (well
