All of the different depictions of Inari were really interesting, but ultimately I went this this one because of the background. Deciding what scene to paint is sometimes harder than deciding how to paint the character, and I thought this form of Inari went best with the rice field.

Yeah, the snow thunderstorms are great. We’re getting dumped on with a huge snowstorm now; it’s already up to my knees and continuing to snow.

The decision must have been difficult. Did you just start and see what developed? Or did something inspire you to take this direction? Oh, and by the way, I’m envious of those thunderstorms with snow. ~grin~ That must be wonderful.
