Tuning in.- get a feel for what the paint needs

I find that I enjoy being with the painting for the lengthy space of time it takes to finish it. All the layers help build the work slowly always adding to the depth of the piece.
I´m not intresed in controlling the paint, instead I invest my time by listening to what it needs, each piece is different, from what I color I choose, for underpainting, the palette I use if I need glaze etc.
Some of the questions that come to mind in the process are;
How can I guide the viewer to wonderment
Does the image needs to be understood in one Reading
How much amount of paint to contrast the main objective
Is the painting interesting all by itself

Last paintings I´m looking the importance of underpainting along texture
adding some values with color itself, so I tried metallic color and then fosforecent hues to contrast feathers
Lesson learnt is I need more accuracy within the figure shapes nevertheless, I look forward to use these kind of mixing, in a different painting, taking care on details:
