People who ask your opinion then belittle you if you don't give the right answer

I had this happen to me in real life and it's been bugging me. I have an older relative who is a creative type and she sometimes shows some of her work and asks me what it looks like, what kind of feeling it evokes, etc... Mind you, I can tell there's only one right answer and I try so hard to nail it but when I don't she belittles me that I don't "get it". For the first time I actually stopped her midstream and told her that I'm sick of the whole routine and it got a little touchy.

Oy yoy yoy.... It didn't end well. I'm just ticked off and had to vent. It happened a couple of days ago and I haven't heard back from her. Did I deal with it properly? Will she ever talk to me again? Do I care? (LOL) Anyone have similar experiences? Please share...
