When you think that the internet cannot surprise you any more, a piece of news always appears that leaves you with your mouth open and with the reaffirmation that we should never underestimate the power of the network and of people.
We have all heard that Paint, the classic Windows tool for editing photos and taking screenshots, is useless, that if we want to be professionals we have to pull programs from the Adobe package.
And it is obvious that, compared to more professional tools like Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft’s Paint does not have and cannot do anything. It is light years away from these professional apps. But he defends himself, the only thing is that you have to know how to get the performance out of it.
This is not easy, it is true, but the internet has just made famous Concha García Zaera, a 91-year-old lady who may well be the person with the most skill with Paint in the whole Earth. If you don’t believe me, you only have to see the pictures that we leave you here.

The artist It already has more than 80 works of great realism and chromatic sobriety, based mainly on landscapes that seem unalterable over time.
