Artist taking in Ur left country (5)
I believe the answer is:
rural
'country' is the definition.
(I know that country can be written as rural)
'artist taking in ur left' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'taking in' indicates putting letters inside.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'ra' going around 'ur' is 'rura'.
'rura'+'l'='RURAL'
(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Connected with farming" , "Bucolic; pastoral" , "outside the city?" , "Countryfied" , "Relating to country life" .)
