Crossword Genius

Artist keeps a boat by the bank (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

painter

This clue is a double definition.

'artist' is the first definition.
(I know that painter is a type of artist)

'keeps a boat by the bank' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for painter that I've seen before include "Sutherland?" , "Bacon, perhaps" , "One who has a brush" , "Artist - rope for boat" , "someone like Monet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
