"All the Way to China"

An abstract painting in oil by Juan Coronado

I personally love this abstract piece that Juan recently finished for its earth tones and rusts, which fall into my range of favorite colors.  When you were a kid, did you used to believe that if you kept digging straight through the earth that you would end up in China?  At least that's what we thought as kids in New Zealand.  The fact is that the "antipodes" to New Zealand is in fact Spain!  Oh well, I'm glad we now have GPS.  The title of this piece, however, suggests that perhaps kids growing up in Mexico and Southern California also believed that digging through the earth would bring them to China.

Ever wondered just where you would end up by digging straight through the earth from where you live?  Here's a cute website that allows you to answer the question: If I dig through the center of the earth, where will I come out?  For more on the growing obsession with map stuff, see the Google Maps blog, but enjoy Juan's painting below first!
