Meet the 'Pixel Picasso', 98, who draws stunning landscapes on Microsoft Paint
'Houses on a hill' by Hal Lasko, one of the digital paintings he produces on Microsoft Paint (Caters)
Hal, a retired typographer from Ohio in America, worried he would not be able to keep up with his painting hobby and started to use the basic computer program more.

Hal Lasko may not have kept up with the smartphone revolution, but he's still a maestro on the 1990s art software - despite being registered blind
Ten years ago, 98-year-old Hal Lasko began to lose his eyesight and feared his days of oil painting were over.
But the legally blind artist has been given a new lease of life - thanks to the outdated computer program Microsoft Paint.
The great-great grandad, known as the 'Pixel Painter', may not have kept up with the smartphone revolution, but is still a master with the 1990s pixelated art software.
His grandchildren gave him Microsoft Paint fifteen years ago, but soon after he contracted wet macular degeneration - a condition which blurred his central vision and made colours appear washed out.
Now the artist, who has lived through two world wars, uses digital paintbrushes and pencils to create his Microsoft masterpieces - which are far from amateur.
Hal said: "The first piece took six months. Now they can take anything between four and 30 days.
"I do a lot of my painting with my eyes shut. When I lost my eyesight I thought my painting days were over. I'm using the computer because it gives me the benefit of magnifying enough so I can still do it.

"If it takes me to two years to do something, I do it. I jump out of bed to get to the computer every morning to do what I dreamed I could do.
"When I worked I always had to please the client, now I can do whatever I want."
Hal, who has three children, 10 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren, doesn't use computers for anything else.
He spends ten hours a day on Microsoft Paint, and has so far completed 150 paintings.
Son Ron Lasko said: "Sometimes he talks about it in his sleep. He will talk to you about light for as long as you want to listen."

The Best Divorce Letter, Ever...!!
FIRST LETTER:
My Dear husband:I’m writing this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you. I’ve been a good wife to you for the last 20 years & I have nothing to show for it, and the last 2 weeks have been hell.
Your boss called to tell me that you left your job today which was the last straw.
Last week, you came home & you didn’t even notice I had a new hairstyle, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new nightie.
You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching your TV soaps.
You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife.
Either you’re cheating on me or you don’t love me anymore; whatever the case, I’mgone.
Your EX-Wife.
Don’t try to find me. Your BROTHER & I are moving to New Zealand together! Have a great life!
REPLY:
Dear Ex-wife, Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter.
It’s true you & I have been married for 20 years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you’ve been.I watch TV soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & bitching.
Too bad that doesn’t work any more.I DID notice when you got a hair do last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a boy!’
Since my father raised me not to say anything, if you can’t say something nice, I didn’t comment……and when you cooked my favourite meal, you must have got me confused with MY BROTHER because I haven’t eaten prawns for 7 years.
About the new nightie: I turned away from you because the $299.99 price tag was still on it,& I prayed it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed $300 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I won the $20 million Lotto, on Saturday,
I left my job & bought 2 tickets for us to Paris , but when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted.
My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dollar from me.So take care.
Signed,Your Ex-Husband, Rich As Hell & Free!
P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my brother Carl was born Carla.I hope that’s not a problem
