Abstract: The invention provides a paint brush holder for holding a paint brush by its handle in a generally horizontal position over the rim of an open paint can. The holder includes resilient, spaced leg members joined by a U-shaped connection to grip the rim of the paint can. A clip structure holds the paint brush handle and includes a plate member positioned horizontally above the U-shaped connection and a resilient connection structure interconnecting the U-shaped connection and the plate member. The paint brush handle is received and retained between the plate member and the U-shaped connection.
