Pygame image wont show up until I close the window

[c0d3r1 2]

I am creating a game with pygame and an image won't show up until the window is loading to be closed. This is my code so far:

import pygame

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))

pygame.display.set_caption("ALix")
icon = pygame.image.load("nater.jpg")
pygame.display.set_icon(icon)

playerImg = pygame.image.load('nater.jpg')
playerX = 400
playerY = 300

def player():
screen.blit(playerImg, (playerX, playerY))

running = True
while running:
screen.fill((255, 255, 255))

for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        running = False

player()

pygame.display.update()

I do not know pygame but I notice that you do not call pygame.display.update() until the end of the program. In most GUI applications you need to call update during normal running in order to keep it current.

When running I am blit'ing some text onto my surface (WIN) and I want this to be shown in the game so I call pygame.display.update to update the display, this works perfectly fine until the loop has iterated around 75 times and after this the display stops updating. Code below
