What is claimed is: 1. A paint brush holder for supporting a paint brush on an open top paint container having an upright container wall, wherein the paint brush has an elongated handle and a paint applicator projecting from one end of the handle, said paint brush holder comprising: a body removably attachable to the paint container, said body presenting spaced apart first and second upright surfaces, said body presenting a pair of spaced apart, discrete, container-receiving grooves, each of the grooves comprising an inwardly extending recess defined in the body and configured to receive a section of the container wall therein, each of said grooves extending generally linearly through the body and intersecting the upright surfaces of the body, with a first length dimension being defined along the first upright surface between the groove intersections, and a second length dimension being defined along the second upright surface between the groove intersections, said first length dimension being greater than said second length dimension, such that the pair of grooves cooperatively define an acute angle therebetween as measured along a generally horizontal plane, with the grooves thereby being configured to simultaneously receive the respective container wall sections therein; and a handle gripping element fixed to the body so as to be disposed in lateral alignment with the open top of the container when the body is attached to the container, said gripping element being configured to releasably grip the handle of the paint brush along the length of the handle, with the applicator thereby being moveably located within the paint container at a position that is vertically adjustable relative to the open top of the container. 2. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 1, said body presenting a pair of opposite ends, with handles being defined adjacent the ends. 3. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 2, said gripping element being spaced equally between the ends. 4. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 2, each of said handles including a neck section and an outermost end section, with the neck section having a reduced cross-sectional dimension relative to the end section. 5. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 2, said body defining a lid-engaging surface extending between the handles, said lid-engaging surface being dimensioned to at least substantially span a segment of the top of the paint container. 6. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 5, said lid-engaging surface being generally fiat. 7. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 1, said angle being about 60 degrees. 8. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 1, said grooves presenting a depth of at least about �� of an inch. 9. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 1, said gripping element being configured to resiliently flex when the handle is gripped so as to exert a gripping force against the handle. 10. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 9, said gripping element including a pair of spaced apart arms between which the handle is gripped, said arms being resiliently shiftable away from one another. 11. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 10, said gripping element being formed of spring steel. 12. In combination: a paint container including wall structure defining an internal chamber and an open top, said wall structure including an upright wall; a paint brush including an elongated handle and a paint applicator projecting from one end of the handle; and a paint brush holder removably attached to the wall structure, said brush holder including a handle gripping element releasably gripping the handle so that the applicator is moveably positioned within the chamber at a position that is vertically adjustable relative to the open top, said paint brush holder including a body on which the gripping element is fixed, said body being removably attached to the wall structure, said body presenting spaced apart first and second upright surfaces, said body presenting a pair of spaced apart, discrete, container-receiving grooves, each of the grooves comprising an inwardly extending recess defined in the body and removably receiving a section of the upright wall therein, each of said grooves extending generally linearly through the body and intersecting the upright surfaces of the body, with a first length dimension being defined along the first upright surface between the groove intersections, and a second length dimension being defined along the second upright surface between the groove intersections, said first length dimension being greater than said second length dimension, such that the pair of grooves cooperatively define an acute angle therebetween as measured along a generally horizontal plane, with the grooves thereby simultaneously receiving the respective upright container wall sections therein. 13. The combination as claimed in claim 12, said wall structure including a bottom wall, a side wall projecting upwardly from the bottom wall, and a rim circumscribing the top of the side wall and defining the open top of the paint container. 14. The combination as claimed in claim 13, said sidewall being cylindrical in shape, with the rim presenting a circular open top. 15. The combination as claimed in claim 12, said body presenting a pair of opposite ends, with handles being defined adjacent the ends. 16. The combination as claimed in claim 15, said gripping element being spaced equally between the ends. 17. The combination as claimed in claim 15, each of said handles including a neck section and an outermost end section, with the neck section having a reduced cross-sectional dimension relative to the end section. 18. The combination as claimed in claim 15; and a lid removably attachable to the paint container in a covering relationship with the open top, said body defining a lid-engaging surface extending between the handles, said lid-engaging surface being dimensioned to at least substantially span a segment of the top of the paint container. 19. The combination as claimed in claim 18, said lid-engaging surface being generally flat. 20. The combination as claimed in claim 12, said angle being about 60 degrees. 21. The combination as claimed in claim 12, said grooves presenting a depth of at least about �� of an inch. 22. The combination as claimed in claim 12, said gripping element being configured to resiliently flex when the handle is gripped so as to exert a gripping force against the handle. 23. The combination as claimed in claim 22, said gripping element including a pair of spaced apart arms between which the handle is gripped, said arms being resiliently shiftable away from one another. 24. The combination as claimed in claim 23, said gripping element being formed of spring steel. 25. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 1, each of said grooves being defined by a recessed wall, at least portions of the recessed walls of the grooves defining the acute angle therebetween. 26. The paint brush holder as claimed in claim 25, each recess wall presenting a pair of side wall sections and a base wall section, said pair of side wall sections being substantially parallel to one another, said base wall section being substantially orthogonal to said side wall sections. 27. The combination as claimed in claim 12, each of said grooves being defined by a recessed wall, at least portions of the recessed walls of the grooves defining the acute angle therebetween. 28. The combination as claimed in claim 27, each recess wall presenting a pair of side wall sections and a base wall section, said pair of side wall sections being substantially parallel to one another, said base wall section being substantially orthogonal to said side wall sections.
