A picture of a art piece from a southern California ( San Diego ) art museum is needed to do the reflection, is that fine?

Solution Preview

Hanging in the Museum of Modern Arts (MoMA) is the Starry Night painting by the Dutch impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. Made of oil on canvas this impression captured in the picture is an illusion of the view from his asylum room in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The art also captures the stars just before sunrise. The semblance of blue swirls well captures the night on the canvas with stars appearing like radiating orbs. Additionally, on the foreground are curly branches that seem to obscure the view from the window.
