I was enjoying the new avatar of bilbo_baggins, which is the painting by JRRT of the entrance to Bag End, looking from inside, out. It's a very appealing and inviting piece of art; what struck me about it was first, the symmetry, and second, a hint of yin/yang in the line of the Hill as seen to the left outside the door. Is there something to be made of that? Or am I just bringing something in from the primary world that doesn't belong?
