By way of explanation, your code extends JFrame, which has no 
paintComponent() method to override. Using the annotation, @Override, 
might have highlighted the problem. In contrast, Knute's example 
extends JPanel and overrides paintComponent().

In general "Swing programs should override `paintComponent()` instead 
of overriding `paint()`."—Painting in AWT and Swing: The Paint Methods.
