"Eloquent" means you say/write it in a beautiful way, "expressive" means you convey an image in a very direct way.

Notes to answerer
Asker: To my understanding, eloquent and expressive both mean to effectively convey a feeling, an idea or a mood. What's the difference between the two words?

Asker: Thanks for your help.
