Both Jonathan Knudsen's "Java 2D Graphics" and V. Hardy's
"Java 2D API Graphics" are good books. Knudsen's has many many
examples that can be downloaded and Hardy's describes an entire
layered graphics toolkit -- great concepts.
Those are the only two books that I can recommend.
That link to "painting" on the sun site really describes what's
going on with Swing. You really should take a look at it.
If you dig around in the Java2D demo in the JDK you'll see some
other things you might want to investigate like the setOpaque()
method, Toolkit.sync(), paintImmediately() and working with the
RepaintManager instance.

Wow, most impresssive!
