From the sounds of it, the image is not being found because it is a internal resource.

You could try something like...

imgBoard = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("res/board.png"));

This will throw an IOException if the image cannot be loaded for some reason, which is more useful than what you're getting right now

As an aside. You should avoid painting directly to top level containers, but instead using something that extends from JComponent and override it's paintComponent method

Take a look at Performing Custom Painting and Reading/Loading an Image for more details
