This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Stripes."
I'm glad this theme got repeated. Last time, I showed a boat pole in a Venice canal and a barber shop pole here in NC.
This time, I've got this huge painting by American artist Frank Stella. It's called "Ragga II" and hangs in the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh. The stripes and the colors (along with the size) make quite an impact.
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend.
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

Pretty cool take. Yap I remember the last time I posted stripes too, early April 2009.
Let me tell you this - you have the hippest take on the theme.

Who says modern art can't be beautiful as well as interesting? :)

Hi Anne! Perfect for the theme. I had not thought of circular stripes. I imagine it does make quite an impact. Blessings!

Very interesting art piece. It almost looks a bit like Peter Max work from the 70s.

Oh, I love Frank Stella! I'm an avid art fan, so your link caught my eye on the Photo Hunt blog.
Nice entry. Thank you!
