Extending from one end of the tang is a gripper portion that is formed to impinge on the bottom surface of the step on which the tang impinges, whereby the device is clamped to the step. An arcuate portion extends from the other end of the tang, and is provided with an opening having a diameter dimensioned to receive a paint container, such as a standard bucket. In one embodiment, the arcuate portion consists of a loop of heavy wire formed in a curve to define the opening that supports the paint container. A pair of parallel, linear member extends from the circle are joined to the tang member. The linear members extend past the tang, and include first and second pairs of right angle bends that redirect the linear members retrograde toward the loop portion. The retrograde portions of the linear members are spaced apart from the gripper portions a sufficient distance to engage the thickness of a ladder step therebetween. A painter's tray that may be removably secured to the loop portion of the device. The tray includes a plurality of channel portions secured to the bottom surface thereof and disposed to slidably engage portions of the loop and the tang to secure the tray to the device.
