The word that came first to mind was "introspection." There's a privacy about these paintings and a stillness. Even the street scene is static. I just think that they're stunning in their simple beauty. Although I have to say that the one with the open white doors is somewhat unsettling. I'm not sure why, but I suppose that's part of its genius.
Oh, thank you so much for posting your thoughts – you expressed everything so beautifully that there is nothing to add.. I love your icon – is this from Andrew Wyeth's paintings? I am so sorry if I am mistaken, he is new to me..
