Image not appearing when called from class

Question

Not sure what is happening but I cannot get Test_Image.jpg to appear, the text looks fine.

I'm using PyCharm as my IDE (just giving random info now, stack overflow wants me to) I have done some searches on this topic, but didn't get anything helpful...

I have checked your code and there is nothing wrong from loading the image from within your class. However, I noticed the create_image is causing the problem here. I'm not entirely sure why, but I can answer your question showing you how to get your image shown on your widget by using label image.
