How DrawImage Works

I copied this right out of oracle almost. And yet it won't draw.

ImageIcon salt = createImageIcon("icons/bathsalts.jpg");
/**
* @Override
*/
public void draw(Graphics g){
 
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.drawImage(salt, getX(), getY(), null);
}
 
 why draw image doesnt work for me. drawRect and circle are going just fine...
 
protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path) {
try{
java.net.URL imgURL = ButtonPanel.class.getResource(path);
return new ImageIcon(imgURL);
} catch(RuntimeException e) {
System.out.println("Invalid file path");
}
return null;
}
