So to begin, I have a JPanel to which I add JLabels and JComponents using JPanel's add() method.  It works fine, but now I would like to print an image ON TOP of the added JLabels and JComponents.  For this I manipulate my JPanel's paintComponent(Graphics graphics) method.  In it I have something of the following sort:

I'm assuming you have a translucent image you want to draw over the 
whole JPanel.  Draw on the JFrame's glasspane.  I think you will have to 
make the glasspane visible.
