My process is like yours in that things slow way down at the end, and I take a lot more time to look and think, and think and look -- and then maybe change one or two things. Then I'll think and look some more until I can't see anything that I want to change.
The painting may look finished to others. (My husband will say, "It looks done, when can you deliver it?") and is amazed when I tell him it will probably be a couple more weeks. Most of that intervening time is spent doing something else so I can take a break from a particular piece, then I'll make a few changes and wait some more -- or else it's drying time.
By comparison, my process goes pretty fast in the beginning (after the planning is done, that is).
