That's a tough one Mike. I don't know artspeak very well either.

I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that if they were asking those kinds of questions that they didnt care for that style. In that case, I might just answer that it is a particular style that you've found to be quite popular and enjoyable. And no, "I dont charge less as it takes quite a bit of skill to pull this off sucessfully." Of course, I don't spend a lot of time trying to educate people about art either, I'm not a natural salesperson. Once they've hired me I will, but not usually before unless it is some kind of opening and a specific question. But those questions sound so much like they are showing displeasure and I dont think you can talk someone into liking a style if they dont right away.

These do take extra skill to pull off - I dont think I have ever done one myself I liked.
