6d Italian paintings from intimates? Somehow not me (5) T-A-S
I can get TITIANS, Italian paintings, from losing ME in INTIMATES, but can only seem to get TIANS as an answer following the crossword rule for this week.
Help please! Also:-
24a 'Only keeping single figure out' (5)
SOLVE ( figure out)seems to fit but don't understand how 'V' fits into 'SOLE' ie 'only'

The V is v, Roman numeral for 5.

Thanks Chipps. Appreciate V is 5, but it's not 'single', so still don't understand.
If V is 'single figure' does 'SOLVE' then mean 'out'?
I've got brain fade this week!

A'v' is a single figure (as in 11,14,26 etc are double figures) Sole = lone.

Should have said, v is single, solve is figure out.

Sorry, didn't explain myself too well. Does all of this mean that SOLVE is the answer representing just 'out' in the clue and not 'figure out' as I thought originally.
