“Brittle”, “more likely to yellow” were the only complaints I found on the forums but the proof is in the pudding, so I made this tasty serving of excess. Breaking every pattern that is common to my work, except the preference for wet application, I used a lot of artists grade poppy seed oil. The oil is claimed to accelerate drying.

How it’s different: no reference material, completely abandoned my original concept, single layer, lots of orange. Not once did I use a filbert brush.
