What am I doing wrong?

I feel like I've done everything possible for my store but no sales. Any suggestions?

Chelsey, your paintings are great and you've just gotten started. First of all, Traditionally, January is very slow.
Second, you need to read all you can on SEO. Your title is the most important thing to start with. You can't use the name of the painting, like "Hypomania", because no one will type that into a search. Think like a shopper, along the lines of your tags, and use all the words you can, and all the tags you can. Read this and search our other discussions for Search optimization, or SEO: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/34234144469
Also, if there is no description, I will not buy anything from a seller. They want to know what they are getting, some info about it.
Last, you need to do some research and fill in your return policies and shop policies. Buyers need to feel comfortable with their purchases.
Hope that helps. Best to you!

Your paintings are incredible by the way.

You need to work on SEO. You can use the name of your painting in the description of your listing. I would use a descriptive title 3 words or more to put up so shoppers can find you. Also use the same concept for your tags.
In the description tell your story about that painting and why it is named what you called it. For instance, ask yourself why do you call that painting "Flames"? Tell your viewer (potential buyer) about that painting. Show your emotions. Use descriptive sentences as if you were talking about it in an art gallery to a potential buyer there.

I hope this helps.
