Siren of the Evening Star - stage 10

God, progress is so slow! So much of my time is being taken up helping out my elderly parents and am only really getting in about an hour and a half's worth of work a day at the moment.
I have been sorting out the foreground beach area today including the design and placement of the dryer darker sand which compositionally leads the eye towards the figure and then on towards the boat on the horizon and the Evening Star (not put in yet).
