Nation's Capital features prominently in three Best Picture nominees.

Bourgea paints large-scale formal oil portraits, usually on commission. But recently she embarked on AS IS, a project in which she painted eight portraits of everyday people she met on the street. After showing the paintings at a Sneak Peak at The Dunes (1402 Meridian Pl., NW, Washington, DC) this week, she plans to place each portrait where she met the subject and leave it with a note, which reads: "If this is you, this painting is yours to take."
