Andrey,
I wrestled with this color combination in my painting "Alicia Rose".
Your lovely painting, I think could be helped with some kind of rythymic patterened background and a shift in the color of the yellow.
The yellow, at least on my screen, is too red. Actually a succesful complementary to pinks and reds is of course, green. I wanted to KEEP the backgound yellow so I shifted it to more of a warm yellow green. I do believe a used a combination of ivory black, naples yellow (Michael Harding) and flake white. That particular naples yellow is almost a lemon yellow.
I understand my ancestors were ikon painters in the Ukraine and I think I get my love of flat floral backgrounds from that.
I hope this helps.
