You’ve summed up how I feel about painting from life. I like to think of the plein air painting process as similar to a time-lapse film that the painter edits as he goes along, adding, as you say, those elements that improve the painting and ignoring or removing those that detract.
The finished painting is a record of the hour or however long it took to paint not just a reproduction of the 1/125th of a second that it took to take a photograph.
