We watched as Rob created paintings in under 8 minutes.
Ms. Pitino's class got to interview Rob Surette after his performance. Rob said he can paint a Martin Luther King Jr. Painting in under 1 minute. Rob also said that he couldn't always paint this fast or this good, he had practiced a lot. Practice is like saving pennies Rob said, if you keep putting pennies in the jar every day soon that jar will be full and you'll want to keep on saving.
