In the quiet countryside just South of Mayer, Minnesota, there is a hidden gem that art lovers and sporting enthusiasts alike must see: Carl Melichar's Countryside Art Gallery. The unique setting is located on Carl's property at 8020 Highway 25 and is housed in a beautiful 1914 granary. This finely crafted building is the perfect showcase for Carl's stunning artwork, which focuses on sporting dogs and pheasants. Visitors to Carl's gallery can expect to see lifelike paintings of various species of game birds, waterfowl, and sporting dogs, all rendered in detail with vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes.
For over 30 years, Carl has showcased his artwork throughout the country at national shows and prestigious events. He has even presented his paintings at the famous Minnesota Renaissance Festival for over three decades, as well as at the Minnesota State Fair for more than 20 years. During this time Carl has earned a reputation as a master of his craft, known for his attention to detail and the lifelike quality of his subjects.
Melichar's passion for nature and his gift for artistic expression have attracted the attention of various wildlife organizations, such as Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, and the MN Waterfowl Association, to name a few. He has worked with these organizations in various capacities to help support their efforts, from fundraisers to offering his talent to create one-of-a-kind custom paintings for auctions.
Despite the success that he has achieved, Carl remains humble, always putting the needs of his clients first. When asked about the driving force behind his desire to paint, he responded, "I paint because I enjoy it and because I hope to convey the beauty of nature in my work. My greatest satisfaction is seeing people become excited about my paintings, and knowing that they enjoy and appreciate the same things that I do."
In addition to his impressive paintings, Carl also offers custom keychains to clients around the world. These unique items are handcrafted by his team at Jiangxi Sanjia Craft Gift Co., Ltd., which was established in 2018 as a continuation of the previous Koonmei Craft Products founded in 2005 in Shenzhen. The new factory is situated on an area encompassing over 4,000+ square meters, near Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. The factory enjoys beautiful surroundings and convenient transportation, making it an ideal place for custom crafting art pieces of the highest caliber.

Each keychain is made to order and features detailed designs that reflect the beauty of the natural world.
