Need Help Identifying painting

I recently found this painting at the Salvation Army. I love it and would like to be able to identify it. The only clear marking on it is the signature Percy in the bottom right corner. It is on canvas and has brush strokes and layering of paints, the edges of the canvas are clean and neat where the paint ends and then there are smudges and brushed areas where excess paint is on the back bits of canvas on the stretcher. My guess is it is a high quality reproduction but I am not an expert in art, just an appreciater. Here is a link to a picture of the painting, sorry it isn't the best quality. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaysnyderphotography/

@KaySnyder,
It looks like what a friend of mine calls The Over the Sofa School of Painting. They are factory made, usually in Italy or China, real brush strokes over print on canvas - last guy on the assembly line gets to sign his name, or name of his dog. Enjoy, the price was right.

@BumbleBeeBoogie,
Im gonna go with GW. The styles are quite different and the "Percy" painting from Salvation Army has a formulaic look.
