Frog painter (6)

I believe the answer is:

hopper

This clue is a double definition.

'frog' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'painter' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for hopper that I've seen before include "Kentish farm" , "one making short trip?" , "Edward ..., American realist painter" , "Cricket, perhaps" , "Edward --, US artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
