Some paintings take only an hour to complete. I might add that these are sometimes the best paintings. Others can take longer depending on subject matter. My art instructor once told me that he never thinks about how much time he spends on a painting. I think that's the way to look at it. True art can't be rushed.
I'm working on one now that I have been painting off and on for about a year. There's nothing really difficult about it. It's just that I keep changing my mind while following the painting. As a result some of it has been painted over several times. In summary, don't worry about how long it takes to paint something. It's quality that counts in the end.
