New woodcut print... finally!

I finally broke my one month (at least) of artistic inactivity. Here is a new woodcut print of people eating breakfast at Blue's Cafe in Kankakee. I was riding my bicycle to work one morning, saw this and was inspired to create a print of it. Another new thing for me is that now I am using standard sizes. This print is 5"x7" and matted in an 8"x10" mat. You can purchase it from Etsy if you are interested.

A Prayer for Love; a Poem of Confession

From mouth to ear
From head to heart,
The distance is vast,
The connections torn apart.

Lord could you bridge the gap,
Could You repair the breach
Between the things I do, and
The things I preach?

It was for love you came
It was for love you gave,
Your love has rescued me;
Brought me up out of death's grave.

I want to share the love
I have so freely received.
Teach me, O Lord,
I have not truly loved since I first believed.
