20ac is "Lack of sufficient power" 9 letters and INABILITY fits so far. But for 19dn 4 letters "Mentally or physically tiring", I have ?I?G, the I being the fifth letter of 20ac. For reasons too lengthy to explain, the four letters of 19dn need to be from V,A,N,G,O or H. So my INABILITY is wrong, and we're looking for a solution to 20ac from I?A???I?Y of which the fifth letter must be one of the 6 above and provide a solution to 19dn from ???G. Just the thing for a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon..........

Looks like inability is very likely correct. Is your G correct in 19d. Sick could be the solution maybe?

Thanks, grasscarp, for persevering, but I'm sure the G is right, as it's the first G in GOGH, which in turn is part of other clues reading THE REAL VAN GOGH. Hence the six letters I've given. Relatively simple,if sometimes deceptive, clues, but very convoluted interconnections.

grasscarp

so its no use me suggesting SLOG. Could the L of Real go into that position?

part from the given clue, the text says "One of the relevant artist is a self portrait, depicting what is to be reflected in the entry at 19 dn - i.e. a 3 letter reductionfrom the original 7 letter solution." All in all, a vintage time-waster which I'm now abandoning! If I ca remember, I'll post the answer when it's available in a fortnight's time.

The first part of the above was missing and reads:- It's better than anything I've thought of, but it means finding analternative to INABILITY. The Chambers definition is "lack of sufficient power or means", so I'm reluctant to abandon it.

Right Chaps, also after spending ages on this, I have cracked it. If you look at the clue for 19d it says it is 7 letters!!! So the answer is wearing (for tiring), but you only need to put ring in at 19d? I don't know what is in the self portarait in question but I'd bet it is a ring. What do you think? Will.
