Draw Background

Hey guys can anybody tell me why my background is not drawing

    background = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Aiden Strydom\\Desktop\\Java Game\\Images\\background.jpg").getImage();
}

@Override
public synchronized void DrawScreen(Graphics2D g) 
{
    int Width = screen.getWidth();
    int Height = screen.getHeight();

    ImageLocation.x %= Width;  //Make image wrap around  
    ImageLocation.y %= Height;

    if(ImageLocation.x < 0)
        ImageLocation.x += Width;
    if(ImageLocation.y < 0)
        ImageLocation.y += Height;

    int x = ImageLocation.x;
    int y = ImageLocation.y;

    g.drawImage(background, x, y, null);
    g.drawImage(background, x - Width, y, null);
    g.drawImage(background, x, y - Height, null);
    g.drawImage(background, x - Width, y - Height, null);
}

I just see the default grey screen, and the debugger does hit the g.drawImage method!

Update: Actually nothing wrong with the code - some how the background picture got deleted out of the folder - when i created a new background picture it Worked.

Override the paintComponent method of the component you want to custom paint. Draw on its Graphics object.
