A few years ago I paid homage to SPAM by doing several larger acrylic
works of this food item that I ate a lot of as a child. Thought it would
be fun to paint the subject with oil paints, which is what I did today.
Spam was a go-to thing that was easy for an immigrant family to eat as
we made every dollar and every meal stretch. My mom sliced Spam and
fried it and served it to us with rice and seaweed. I think we even
dipped it into a plate of soy sauce! Like it really needed more sodium.
Hahaha.
