This is such a great question to contemplate! I've enjoyed reading the responses too.
I also hate that question, "How long does it take you to paint something like that?" My answer (which is the truth) is, "I don't know I don't track how long I take on a particular painting." I guess the reason is very much akin to what Carol wrote about Bill Whitaker's quote. Who wants to trivialize their work down to price per hour?
I believe I work at my best somewhere in between. Either too fast or two slow I find myself tensing up--not a way to produce an outcome I'm happy with! When I'm fast it may because I'm pressed for time; too slow and I may not be sure of what I'm doing. In between, I'm confident, relaxed, in the groove so to speak.
