Product Insights
This 3-piece set from Simons Maison features prints by second-generation Woodland artist Jim Oskineegish, who paints with the blessing of Norval Morrisseau and formal training. The vibrant colours create cohesive tonal links across the trio, with each animal representing a virtue from the Anishinaabe Seven Grandfather Teachings, reflecting the philosophy Mino-Pi-Matisi-Win. Priced at $98 CAD—below single framed pieces by comparable Indigenous artists—the matte paper reduces glare, resists smudges, and yields a museum-like feel. As independent prints, the set can be rearranged or split, offering flexibility in display.
Verified claims
- Artist background
- Jim Oskineegish is a second-generation Woodland artist from Eabametoong First Nation, working with Anishinaabe inspiration, formal training, and Norval Morrisseau's personal blessing.
- Cultural symbolism
- The set's stylized wildlife motifs include birds and a turtle-like creature, and the animals represent virtues from the Anishinaabe Seven Grandfather Teachings.
- Colour palette
- Signature vibrant colours create a cohesive tonal link across the trio.
- Value
- $98 CAD, below single framed pieces by comparable Indigenous artists.
- Philosophy
- The optimism in the description and the artist's medicine art are rooted in the Anishinaabe philosophy Mino-Pi-Matisi-Win.
- Glare
- Matte paper reduces glare and keeps prints readable in bright rooms.
- Smudge resistance
- Matte finish resists fingerprints and handling marks.
- Artistic quality
- Matte finish gives prints a museum-like feel and natural color reproduction.
- Hanging
- Hang the three 11x14 prints as a 46-inch vertical column or a 37-42 inch horizontal row centered at eye level.
- Set flexibility
- The set is three independent framed, ready-to-hang prints, not a split triptych, so you can rearrange or split them across rooms.
- Provenance
- Artist Jim Oskineegish paints with the blessing of Norval Morrisseau, founder of the Woodland style.
- Frame material
- The frames are made of polystyrene (imitation wood), not real wood.
- UV protection
- The included glass is described as protective, but UV protection is not specified.
- Frame color accuracy
- Some buyers report receiving white frames instead of the black frames shown in the product image.
- Artist full-time practice
- Jim Oskineegish has painted full-time in the Woodland style since receiving Norval Morrisseau's blessing in 2005.
- Institutional recognition
- Jim Oskineegish had his first solo museum exhibition in 2024, and his work has begun entering public collections.
- Spiritual role
- The artist is a traditional medicine man, drum keeper, eagle staff carrier, and pipe carrier who describes his work as medicine art.

Adding vibrant Indigenous art to your living space
This three-piece set of wildlife paintings by Anishinaabe artist Jim Oskineegish suits shoppers decorating a living space with bold, culturally meaningful art. Reviewers note the vibrant colors and generous size make a strong impact on room ambiance, with authentic Native themes adding significance beyond decoration. One caveat from reviews: the frames often arrive white rather than black as shown, which some buyers needed to address through returns or reframing.[1]
A gift for recipients who appreciate Indigenous themes
This three-piece wildlife painting set can work as a gift for someone whose taste runs to Indigenous-themed art. Experiences vary, though: in one reported case, a gift recipient disliked the art style, so it is best matched to someone who already enjoys this kind of artwork.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Optimistic Wildlife Paintings 3-Piece Set: Choose this if you want a ready-to-hang set of three framed 11 x 14 inch prints with vibrant, stylized animal imagery from Indigenous artist Jim Oskineegish, whose attached information sheet shares his Ojibwe, Eabametoong First Nation background. Reviewers praise the bold colors, generous size, and cultural significance for decorating living spaces, though a few note the style may not suit every recipient's taste. Be aware that per customer reviews, frames sometimes arrive white rather than the black shown, which has led some buyers to return or reframe the set.[1,2] | White Geese 3-Piece Art Print Set 12 X 14.25 In: Choose this if you want a pre-framed three-print set with a classic, minimalist look—black narrow frames, white beveled mats, and simple goose line drawings with gold inner borders—that reviewers say arrives well packaged and matches the online listing. It comes ready to hang with sawtooth hangers, and buyers report using it for easy refreshes like guest bedrooms. Note for exact-fit projects: one reviewer found the frame width may be slightly smaller than listed (11.75 inches versus 12 inches).[3,4,5] | Nature's Expression Art Print Trio: Choose this if you want a ready-to-hang set of three framed prints with a moody black-and-white mountain landscape, refined with gold-leaf details and marble-like textures that create a continuous motif across the panels. Each framed piece measures about 21.5 inches tall by 17.5 inches wide by 2 inches deep, with a black frame, gold inner trim, hanging hardware included, and a commercial-grade build. Note that a close-up image of the print shows slight edge wear where the paper meets the inner trim, so expect a subtly worn finish on the gold accents.[6,7,8] |

Do not recommend!
Terrible experience. The frames arrived in white instead of black, which was not what I ordered. I returned them immediately in their original condition. Customer service confirmed that a refund would be issued, but it has now been over a month and I still have not received the refund. Very disappointing and poor follow-up.
Superbe!
