Nice pastel work !!  Are both signed ??  If so post the signature on the other one too !!  Sometimes letters look different on 2 different pieces of artwork !!

You'll often see these described as graphite / charcoal and body colour or " heightened white "

Not sure on the sig, yet. Possibly cyrillic.

They're alright, a bit dated.

Maybe a story drawing ? Like the chapel and the horse with a body on it crossing the water ?

Definitely telling the plight/journey/struggle.  Nicely done!

The signature looks like it could be:
L Crofias
L Crofas
