I taxied over the hold short line at my home airport and had to be reminded by the Tower Controller. Contributing factors: The hold-short lines were moved since I last used that runway. It has been some time; but for some reason my habits don't take me to that runway. The hold short line was moved a large distance from where it used to be. I was 'expecting' to taxi to where I was used to going. I remember thinking: 'Oh neat; they've painted ILS hold lines here; never had 'em before'. Lack of recent experience; ironically; that was the purpose of the flight. I just got back from a family visit to a relative dying at an unexpectedly young age. I think it must be bothering me more than I thought because I've been doing stupid; distracted things like this all week.
A pilot taxied beyond the newly installed OWD Runway 35 hold short line because it was some distance from the runway end and he was not expecting it to be different from its previous location.
