I'm seeking the translation of the artist markings on two silk paintings. Any help is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Pic.1,
丙子八月　- Year of Fire-Rat (...1936,1996) August
文其　-　Wenji (Extremely gentle) - Sobriquet of the paintress

雲州　-　Yunzhou (old prefecure name in China, in modern Datung,Shangxi - at least I interpret it this way)

Pic.2,
戊子元月　-　Year of Earth-Rat (...1948,2008) January
小玉　-　Xiaoyu (Small jade) - Another sobriquet of the paintress
With the same Yunzhou seal.

The two paintings seemingly are from te same undefinable artist from Shangxi.

With regards,
I.Nagy
