    I have written a class to pull an image(s) from my HDD by pathname and I want to use the BufferImage class to read the image and then use the Graphics class from .AWT to drawImage onto the contentPane of my Frame. I have set up the drawImage in a for loop because I want to reproduce the image 5 times onto different areas using absolute position but the method is giving me a blank container. Any help? Here are the two classes

    Main class:
    Code:
    public class Main{
    
        BufferedImage card;
    
        public static void main (String[] args){
            Main test = new Main();
            test.start();
        }
    
        public void start(){
            DisplayCards dc = new DisplayCards();
            card = dc.findCard();
            dc.paintCard(card);
        }
    
    
    
    Display class:
    
     public BufferedImage findCard(){
            try {
                System.out.println("Enter filepath\n");
                BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader
                        (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                String imageName = bf.readLine();
                File inputFile = new File(imageName);
                tempImage = ImageIO.read(inputFile);
            } catch (IOException ie) {
                System.out.println("Error:" + ie.getMessage());
            }
            return tempImage;
        }
    
        public void paintCard(BufferedImage image){
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Card Game");
            Panel panel = new DisplayCards();
            frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
            frame.setSize(800,600);
            frame.setVisible(true);
            frame.setResizable(false);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            Graphics g;
            g = frame.getContentPane().getGraphics();
            g.drawImage(image, 100, 100, null);
    
    
           for (int i=0; i<5; i++){
            g.drawImage(image, (i * 150 + 25), 50, null);
            }
        }
