Present difficulties to the artist painting you? (4,1,7)
I believe the answer is:
pose a problem
'difficulties to the artist painting you?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'present' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'present' could be 'pose' (synonyms) and 'pose' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
