Abstract: A paint brush is disclosed herein having an apertured block retaining the heel of a plurality of bristles. A frame is secured to the block on one end and secured to a handle on its other end so as to define a cavity between the block and the handle for storing a bristle cleansing fluid during a cleaning procedure. A cover removably or pivotally attaches to the frame for introducing a selected cleaning solution or compound. An illuminating device detachably couples with the frame directing an illuminating beam immediately ahead of the bristles and the handle is configured with a lazy "S" shape to accommodate the natural hand grip of the user's hand during a painting procedure.
