    Use a short description in the alt-text with a low number of words 1-4 should be enough. If you want to use a longer description then consider using the longdesc attribute. See W3C

    The actual image size has no part to play in this; it’s what the image represents that counts. These descriptions are to benefit the users that uses browsers with images disabled, not the search engines.

    If you were describing the content of the image why would Google consider that to be spamming?
