The local art walk in Sacramento made me rethink how I display my portfolio

I usually just post my best pieces online and call it good. But last month I went to the Second Saturday art walk and saw this one artist who had her process sketches pinned right next to the finished paintings. Like rough pencil lines and color tests, not even framed. It totally changed my mind about showing work. Seeing the messy steps made the final pieces feel more real and approachable. I went home and added a couple of early drafts to my online showcase, just scanned them in and wrote a line about what I changed. The response was way better than my usual polished posts. People actually commented on the process, not just the pretty result. Do you guys show any behind the scenes stuff in your galleries, or is it all final art only? I'm curious if that's a common thing or if I'm just late to the party.
