Answer: Exactly one month, plus about 20 years of practice.
Question: How long did it take to do that painting?
I put brush to a gessoed canvas on September 5th, after several visits to take pictures, choose lighting & a bunch of drawings to choose composition & resolve scale for this commission. Although I plan to add a signature & a few dots & dashes for depth, it is a finished painting on October 5.
So, all things considered, including prep and framing, the real Answer: 2 months, + drying time to be varnished [3-6 more months].
