We spent one day in Chartres. We took a train from Paris. It turned out to be a magical visit because filmmakers were shooting in the main apse. They had brought in strong lights and had the entire inside of the cathedral was illuminated. It was amazing to be able to look all the way up into the arches and the ceiling. We spent a long time watching them filming and walking around the cathedral. This Madonna was in a little alcove. I liked her blue robe with the gold decoration. She was also wearing gold shoes and I used gold acrylic paint on her dress and her shoes.
