What is claimed is: 1. An integral paint brush holder for removable insertion use with a container having a bottom surface, an inner side wall and an upper edge, the holder comprising: a base; a post having a lower end connected to the base, an intermediate portion extending upwardly from the lower end and inclined inward from the base, and an upper end supported above the intermediate portion; at least one generally horizontal support extending from the upper end of the post and each having an associated distal end; and a hook on the intermediate portion of the post vertically between the base and the support, and having a downwardly opening shape to permit the holder to be supported on the upper edge of the container at a position above an inserted position in the container; wherein the hook extends in the opposite direction as the inward inclination of the intermediate portion to permit the holder to be raised and supported on the upper edge of the container at a position above the inserted position. 2. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the distal end of each support has an upwardly inclined shape to prevent brush removal from the support. 3. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the support extends from the upper end of the post to the inner side wall of the container to prevent brush removal from each generally horizontal support when the paint brush holder is the inserted position. 4. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the hook and the support contact the inner side wall of the container to prevent brush removal from each generally horizontal support when the paint brush holder is in the inserted position. 5. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the base is a circular disk base adapted to contact the bottom surface of the container and impede removal of the paint brush holder from the container. 6. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the downwardly opening shape of the hook on the intermediate portion has an inverted J shape. 7. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the base is a curved base adapted to contact the bottom surface of the container when the paint brush holder is in the inserted position. 8. The paint brush holder of claim 7, wherein the curved base is adapted to contact the inner side wall of the container. 9. The paint brush holder of claim 8, wherein the curved base is a ring base. 10. The paint brush holder of claim 8, wherein the curved base is a partially circular base. 11. The paint brush holder of claim 8, wherein the curved base is a D-shaped base. 12. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the at least one generally horizontal support includes at least two generally horizontal supports, wherein each support extends from the upper end of the post and each support has the distal end having an upwardly inclined shape. 13. The paint brush holder of claim 12, wherein each support is at an angle less than ninety degrees from an adjacent support. 14. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the base, post, support and hook are formed from round rod, wherein the round rod of the post has a larger rod gauge than the round rod of the base, support and hook. 15. The paint brush holder of claim 1, wherein the base is a squared U-shaped base. 16. An integral paint brush holder for removable-insertion use with a container having a bottom surface, an inner side wall and an upper edge, the holder comprising: a base; a post having a lower end connected to the base, an intermediate portion extending upwardly from the lower end and inclined radially inward from the base, and an upper end supported above the intermediate portion; at least one generally horizontal support extending from the upper end of the post and each having an associated distal end; the distal end of each support having an upwardly inclined shape; and a hook on the intermediate portion of the post vertically between the base and the support, and having a downwardly opening shape, and extending in the opposite direction as the radial inward inclination of the post to permit the holder to be raised and supported on the upper edge of the container at a position above an inserted position in the container. 17. An integral paint brush holder for removable-insertion use with a container having a bottom surface, an inner side wall and an upper edge, the holder comprising: a ring-like base formed from round rod and adapted to contact the bottom surface of the container as well as the inner side wall of the container when the holder is in an inserted position in the container; a post formed from round rod and having a lower end connected to the base, an intermediate portion extending upwardly from the lower end and inclined radially inward from the base, and an upper end supported above the intermediate portion; generally horizontal supports formed from round rod and extending from the upper end of the post to the inner side wall of the container to prevent brush removal from each support when the holder is the inserted position, wherein each support extends at an angle less than ninety degrees from the upper end of the post relative to an adjacent support, and wherein each support has an associated distal end having an upwardly inclined shape; and a hook on the intermediate portion of the post vertically between the base and the supports, formed from round rod, having a downwardly J-shaped opening, and extending in the opposite direction as the radial inward inclination of the post to permit the holder to be raised and supported on the upper edge of the container at a position above the inserted position.
