MAXWELL'S RESTAURANT ON HUNTINGTON BEACH PIER
About this photo above:
Maxwell's is a part of the Huntington Beach history that might easily be forgotten if not for the likes of artist Bill Anderson.
Bill Anderson, a long-time Huntington Beach artist, is known around the globe for his artwork. He owns Bill Anderson Gallery in Sunset Beach and his clientele has included Cameron Diaz, for one.
His newest exhibition is a body of works that portrays Huntington Beach during the years that he's been a resident. The display commemorates the city's 100th birthday in 2009.
