Hello . It’s me again asking for help. Funny crossie! Some really easy clues and some just mystifying. I have answers for all the clues but some are just a guess and, as ever, if they fit part of the clue I use them. Here’s a couple that I just can’t see the reasoning. Here goes.
Cheer for female act in show of boldness. With the letters I have this has got to be ‘ bravado’ . That’s the boldness bit but the rest….?
Dutch painter apparently covering room with new gloss. I have veneer . That’s the gloss and it sounds vaguely Dutch….
Please help

Thanks, Toorak, I expected/hoped your 'bravo' was a typo, but...

And NaC goes one better! Thanks to you as well.
Stevenj, it was the 'female' that made me jump in - we're all so used to Bravo...
