During Walasse Ting's early Paris period, he was deeply influenced by Matisse's painting, because there are always beautiful colors and bright contrast in his painting. Influences also came from traditional Chinese colored drawings; he also loves the white in porcelains and the transparency in nature paintings. After the late 70's, Walasse combined both the spirit in cacography and techniques in woodblock prints, gradually developed his unique creative style.
When choosing the theme for his painting, Walasse Ting painted mostly young girls. He enjoyed bringing up their attractive spots, with Western faces, and veiled them with their charming beauty. "Do You Like My Red Hair?" was painted in 1986; it has transparency and vivid yet harmonic colors, the passionate model in the picture looks like a blooming flower in the sun, tender and delicate, just like an unforgettable summer affair of the artist himself.
