Please show whole images of each work. At least one of entire piece. Once one has an overall impression, a detail here and there could be helpful, but not as substitute for entirety.

They may offer clues that your poor inscription images do not. It is not your fault that the seal impressions are poor.

thanks, this is hugely helpful relative to the initial photo of the seals. the inscription is the name of a famous Ming painter in the "birds and flowers" genre named Lu Ji, but your picture is a recent (since 1980s) decorative work in traditional style, little commercial value. aesthetically soothing but perhaps aimed at the tourist market.

An example of Lu Ji's work is here for comparison:
