I'm an aviation enthusiast, looking for the orginal canvas painting of the Bristol Aircraft Company depicted in the 1940's. The print I have is not signed. I tried to attach a jpg file of the picture. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The artist is Kevin Walsh

I went to the Kevin Walsh website and found he is a prominent artist. Based on that, it appears the chance of acquiring an original would be quite slim at best and very expensive even if possible, as his work is reproduced and contracted to manufacturers of retail products. Not being familiar with the art business, can I assume this is an accurate assessment?

I think you're right, it would be expensive and maybe not possible at all.
From a look at his website it appears that he isn't even trying to sell his original paintings. I imagine the economics are such that he can get paid far more for the reproduction rights than he would probably get by selling the original.
