## Resource

Charles Leon couldn't just sit still when the COVID pandemic had us all locked up in our homes. He had to get out and walk. And so he did, with sketchbook in hand. Drawing was a passion he put to good use discovering the city he loved and lived in, London. But it was more than simply drawing the buildings on the streets where he wandered, it was a learning process beyond their history. He discovered their stories as well as his own and published his sketches and watercolors in a 5 volume series of books.
