An octogenarian artist has charmed the internet with her pretty paintings — which she makes entirely with MS Paint.
Concha Garcia Zaera lives in Valencia, Spain with her husband. As a hobby, the 87-year-old likes to create artwork — but a while ago, she had to abandon the oil paints she preferred because the chemical smell contributed to her husband's health issues.
So the 21st-century grandma found a somewhat modern solution: She began fiddling with Microsoft's primitive Paint program, turning out surprisingly complex works of art with just a mouse and a screen.
She used facebook to share the drawings but her granddaughter said "there are only old people there" so she set her up with an Instagram account.

Or, you could take a picture and run it through a couple of clever filters...

So train the neural net on hundreds of Grandma's hand-drawn MS paintings, run pictures through it to get that hand-drawn look, and presto!
