I've heard that his father was actually very unsupportive. Da Vinci went a little crazy and cut off his own ear because his family locked him in a room and tried to force him to stop painting what he wanted and start painting what they wanted. (I think they tried to force him to create only religious art.) Things like The Mona Lisa, which was a painting of a "peasant" woman, were very shocking and infuriating to his father and family in general, and got Leonardo in a lot of trouble with them.
