What may be brought home by the successful artist (5)
I believe the answer is:
bacon
I believe this is a double definition.
'what may be brought home by the successful' is the first definition.
(as in 'bringing home the bacon')
'artist' is the second definition.
(painter Francis Bacon)
(Other definitions for bacon that I've seen before include "Meat (brought home by a breadwinner?)" , "Cured pig-meat" , "The meat to bring home for success" , "Eg, rashers" , "Salted pig-meat" .)
