[Python] Locate Image on Screen with pyautogui

I'm trying to locate a particular image on a screen. The image is stored in a directory as CL9. I've tried multiple ways of setting the image_path, but none of them seem to work. Ultimately, I'll want to loop through up to 100 images in the same directory, but I wanted to code a little, test a little, code a little more, test a little more, etc.

Here's what I have:
# Locate and click on a particular image on the screen.
#image_path = ('C:/Users/reber/OneDrive/Desktop/Python/Rise of Castles/Images/CL9.png')
#image_path = r('C:/Users/reber/OneDrive/Desktop/Python/Rise of Castles/Images/CL9.png')
image_path = (r'C:/Users/reber/OneDrive/Desktop/Python/Rise of Castles/Images/CL9.png')
#image_path = "/images/CL9.png"
location = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('image_path')
pyautogui.click(location)


Here's what I'm getting:
