Crossword Genius

Painter having bizarre traits (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artist

'painter' is the definition.
(painter is an example)

'bizarre traits' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates an anagram.
'traits' anagrammed gives 'ARTIST'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "Bacon, for example?" , "Eg, a painter" , "Creator of aesthetic works" , "Painter in dire strait" , "Painter, drawer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
