What I need is to display of small image on existing picture (open folder , closed folder or document) to indicate whether the node is valid or not (Visual representation with small green correct mark or red - cross mark)
You could have several different images. Bind the Picture.source to your validity property using a conversion function that returns the appropriate URL.
You could have a separate object to indicate validity. Bind its GraphObject.visible or GraphObject.opacity property to your validity property. http://gojs.net/latest/intro/nodes.html
There are other possibilities as well, but this is probably enough for you to implement what you decide you want.
