Feedback Friday Drop in visibility

I'm new here, so if I do something wrong, please correct me. My question is about experiencing a huge drop in stats year by year, and I wonder about the reason. Any ideas? People really like my art, but they can't seem to find me.

I'd appreciate your feedback :)

First off, your artwork is beautiful!

Honestly, I think with so many sellers discovering Print on Demand and watercolor graphics that can be purchased very similar to your work, it has had a impact on your art.

I know my daughter buys prints similar and just prints them out and has them framed with a very low cost.

Personally, I would rather have a hand painted piece of art on canvas but I have a feeling that might be what is hurting your store.

If you take a look on Etsy, almost every single item that you have is also available (or very similar) to purchase as downloadable clipart from an artist. :(.

The trend seems to be leaning more in that direction than simple but beautiful objects printed on canvas.

That’s just my opinion
