I have a page on my site entitled "Portrait Process" where I discuss procedure and prices and also show a sample portrait in three stages: blocking in or "blue" phase, first colors, and completed. So clients know what to expect as the painting develops. It seems similar to what you do, Michael.
I usually make a point of showing the client the painting twice: the first at the blue phase and the second when it's just about finished. I don't give them a running exhibit the way you do, Hulya, but I'll bet they appreciate that.
