Most artists agree that great art is a distillation. Say as much as possible, with a minimum of brushstrokes. Leave out as much detail as possible and still convey the whole picture.
So it seems a natural extension of that philosophy to use a minimal palette: to convey as much color as possible with as few colors as you can get away with.
A few years ago I was priveleged to see an exhibit of Wyeth's Helga pictures. He may have had an even smaller palette than you're using. I never once felt he should have used more.
Your painting is a joy.
