East wind unsettled country forecaster and artist (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edwin landseer

'artist' is the definition.
(I know that Edwin Landseer was a artist)

'east wind unsettled country forecaster' is the wordplay.
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'unsettled' indicates an anagram.
'country' becomes 'land' (synonyms).
'forecaster' becomes 'seer' (someone who sees the future).
'wind' anagrammed gives 'dwin'.
'e'+'dwin'+'land'+'seer'='EDWIN LANDSEER'

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for edwin landseer that I've seen is " Painter".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
