I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'paintings' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'of cress growing wild' is the wordplay.
'growing wild' indicates an anagram.
'of'+'cress'='ofcress'
'ofcress' with letters rearranged gives 'FRESCOS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for frescos that I've seen before include "Murals done on wet plaster" , "Art" .)
