Hi all,

Getting down to that last unidentified artists on the scrolls (before we go pick up another 100)! I have no leads on this one, image search and google translate gave me nothing to go on, even though there is quite a bit of calligraphy and four seals. As always, thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Chelsea

These may be 2 of a set of 4, but in any case the signature and seals attribute them to a 清雨點 QING Yudian, a woman apparently born in 1956 who focuses on pictures of plants, though this website lists 3 artists who use the same name (https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%B8%85%E9%9B%A8%E7%82%B9/3779931). Judging from the descriptions of their work, I think yours is supposed to be by the second person listed (rather than the artists born 1936 or 1968). The name can also be read literally as "pure raindrop(s)". The cyclical date in inscription on the right scroll looks to be 2003. This work is more individualistic in both painting and calligraphy than other works attributed to her online, such as this one (https://tw.bid.yahoo.com/item/101726840611), which is described as being by the 1936 artist with this name, yet bears seals carved similarly to those at bottom left on your left scroll. (Stylistically, the undated green bamboo painting seems quite recent to me; fyi $950 is in Taiwan dollars, not US$).
Note that the seals on this picture are different seals from those at bottom left on yours despite their similar appearance.
I prefer the expressiveness of your scrolls, whoever did them.
