Nick Hayworth: Strength and Service

Nick Hayworth: Strength and Service is an oil-on-canvas portrait of Nick Hayworth, a friend of the artist, proud father, devoted husband, respiratory therapist at Alameda Hospital, and a respected member of the Freemasonry community. The painting places Nick against a scenic Scottish landscape with open water, rolling terrain, and distant mountains beneath a bright sky. This setting gives the portrait a sense of freedom, optimism, and grounded strength, while also adding personal meaning and a spirit of place. His warm expression, confident presence, and relaxed pose create a portrait that feels both personal and approachable. Completed in 2025, this work reflects Ozzie Ghani’s interest in painting people not only as likenesses, but as complete human stories shaped by family, profession, service, brotherhood, and character.
