<p>The signature is 石青, 
After googled the name, I found at least 3 painters named 石青 on the web, both mainly draw birds and flowers.</p>

<p>But compare the calligraphy, it does not look like same person.</p>

<p>All the 壬戌 year:</p>

<p>2年、62年、122年、182年、242年、302年、362年、422年、482年、542年、602年、662年、722年、782年、842年、902年、962年, 1022年、1082年、1142年、1202年、1262年、1322年、1382年、1442年、1502年、1562年、1622年、1682年、1742年、1802年、1862年、1922年、1982年。</p>

<p>Based on the style of the calligraphy and the poem, I think it is painted in 1982.</p>
