I would be very thankful if you could identify the artists who painted these two paintings on silk, and how old they are.

Pic.l,
Signature,
梅林居士冩　-　Painted by Hualin the Retired Scholar
- Pseudonym
Leisure seal,
普渡　-　Pudu - All may cross (in the barge of mercy) - Buddhist phrase

I could find only one painter with this pseudonym
whose name was Sun Zhi 孫枝.　Mid.16.c. Ming Dynasty painter from Wuxian (now Suzhou).
This picture might be a copy of one of his works.

Pic.2,
Signature and seal read,
尋碩　-　Xunshhuo - Pseudonym　 or given name

Unidentifiable arist,

With regards,
I.Nagy

thank you very much for taking the time to read these inscriptions. This was very helpful

Correction,
華林居士冩　　is correct.

I.Nagy
