Why Images In Applet Not Showing

So I am trying to make this java applet that will display a random image of three that is a sub folder of my src folder within my project.

When you run the project currently all you get is a white applet. Here is the code:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java. awt.*;
 public class myPictures extends Applet {
Image action;
public void paint(Graphics g){
int rint = (int)(Math.random() * 3);
if(rint == 0){
action = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "../../images/bee3.jpg");
} else if(rint == 1){
action = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "../../images/bee1.jpg");
} else {
action = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "../../images/bee2.jpg");
} } }
